WHAT DOES SHINNY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

shinny

Shinny

Shinny is an informal type of hockey played on ice. It is also used as another term for street hockey. There are no formal rules or specific positions, and generally, there are no goaltenders. The goal areas at each end may be marked by nets, or simply by objects, such as blocks of snow, stones, etc. Body checking and lifting or "roofing/reefing/raising the puck" are often forbidden because the players are not wearing protective equipment, although Curtis Warren former star of the OHLs Barrie Colts would beg to differ adding "the name of the game is shinny so I wear shin pads ". Shinny is a game that all levels of hockey enthusiasts can play because it requires no rink, requires no skills except ability to hold a stick and at the very least to try to touch the puck or ball when it goes by. Shinny may be completely non-competitive and recreational - scoring irrelevant - or competitive and scores kept. In his book Country on Ice, Doug Beardsley claims that most Canadian hockey professional players have played some form of shinny in their youth.
