Deshielo (Melting Ice)
“I live in the tropics (I try not to be too busy).
On my front porch overlooking the Caribbean sit five full hockey bags with enough equipment to put more than a full team on ice (goalie gear too). These haven’t been stolen yet... Others Have.
I’ll help you load it if you’re on a crime spree... Many are. You run this Circus.??? I dare you!
There’s a rink. RING (sic), fifteen miles down the road; -This gear won’t be seeing the ice soon, if ever.
El Deporte De Hockey sobre hielo no hay permiten a practicar aqui!”

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Anyone who doubts that ice hockey is truly a global game that can be played in any world region or any climate, need only look at places like the island of Puerto Rico. In a region where most people think ice is something you use to keep drinks cold, the sport of ice hockey created a promising foundation for the future.
When most people think of sports in Puerto Rico, the first images that come to mind are baseball and soccer. Few expect to find hockey players on an island where there's never a winter, much less natural ice. But in a testament to the global nature of hockey, the sport does indeed exist if you look for it
