Three hockey players surge across the ice in a tightly charged moment of play. At the centre, a skater in a red plaid jacket leans forward with intent, cutting through the blue with purposeful strides, flanked by two opposing players in classic blue and white jerseys. The contrast between outdoor attire and traditional uniforms blurs the line between organized sport and informal pond hockey.

Set against a cool winter landscape, the painting captures the physicality and rhythm of the game, where bodies, blades, and sticks move in near unison. The scene speaks to hockey as lived experience rather than spectacle. A fast, familiar ritual rooted in camaraderie, competition, and the shared language of winter.
