In Canada (especially amongst the poorer) frozen 'horse apples' are used in place of hockey pucks. I know this from an interview I did with Hall of Famer Willie O'Ree <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_O%27Ree>, first black to play in the NHL (1958) with the Boston Bruins:
" *Horse Apples* – Frozen horse droppings, often used by young boys as Ice *Hockey* pucks. Also called horse puckies." https://www.birthplaceofhockey.com/evolution/glossary/ JAI -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
