Doug Nelson of the Woodstars launches a high puck which his teammate tries to grab out of the air during the men's Open division semi-final game against the Old No. 7 team during the 10th annual U.S. Pond Hockey Championships at Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 18, 2015. High pucks are a special menace of pond hockey, where the low goals and lack of side boards and glass encourage a low puck type of game. Fans have to stay attentive of flying pucks.
This year, conflicting groups in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan are putting on events which are all billed as U.S. national pond hockey championships.
