Ice Hockey, 1923

Ice Hockey, 1923
Three young men scramble for the puck in a outdoor ice hockey game, as several young ladies look on. They appear to be skating on the Midway between Washington and Jackson Parks just to the south of the University of Chicago in Hyde Park in 1923. Later in the twentieth century, indoor skating rings across the region moved ice hockey from a winter to a yearround sport.
