1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Skating on frozen ponds is a bona fide requirement for

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: growing up in Greater Boston.

3
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: There's not much to do in the winters in Boston,

4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: so you know, getting out and playing on ice, it's

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: just like it brings me back to my childhood.

6
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: A lot here at Aubindale Cove and offshoot of the

7
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: Charles River. Skaters tell me this ice is seldom frozen

8
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: enough to skate on safely, but more than one hundred

9
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: people showed up to take advantage of the frigid weather

10
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: we've been having this last few weeks, which has made

11
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: this ice super strong.

12
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty special. I mean being able to

13
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 3: skate out here is really cool. And we skate a

14
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: lot indoors at like the local rinks, but you never

15
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 3: get a chance to do this outside.

16
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: So entire hockey games were taking place while I was here,

17
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: with people shoveling off giant rectangles and setting up nets.

18
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: More experienced locals said, this is a good way to

19
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: get kids out in the cold.

20
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 4: We're just having fun, just passing the puck around.

21
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: And who knows when it will be this frozen over next.
