Off-topic but a question for hockey players: Up in Hingham (from artisanal Brooklyn for a couple days for an 80th Bday party tomorrow. I'm 53, my fondest memories of growing up in this area involved pond hockey - it spawned a deep love of the game that abides to this day. It was a regional pastime enjoyed by everybody with a pair of skates and a stick. Went to south shore pond hockey Mecca East St. Skating Club near Cohasset this afternoon with my 9 year-old and played shinny for a couple hours - it was great in every way. Every way but one. We were alone. Not one single skater showed up between the hours of 2 to 4:45 to join in the fun. My question is; where are they? Where are the kids who cut school in a cold snap to take advantage? The private school kids on vacation? One teenager in the warming house to tend the fire and fail to produce hot chocolate - zero skaters. WTF? Anybody have a reasonable explanation for this apparent wide-scale south shore body-snatching?

It's freezing out, it's a school day, and everyone who wanted to pond skate got their fix over the last couple weeks when they were actually on vacation.

So I guess you're saying I'm off base blaming screen habits and shouldn't lose all faith in kids these days? Has it been two-plus weeks of sub-freezing temps up here?

Pretty much, yeah. It's been this cold since basically Christmas.

Ok, I had it in my head everything would have solidified in just the last couple days. In any event, it was surreal - I thought pond hockey was a thing of the past and I'd never get to do it with my son. He got a bit of the scent in his nose today, I think. Walking out to Ragged Island on the harbor was a capper on the day - winter a la the 1970s...

Problem is that Florida has a game the next night. Will they be able to get out?
