Sand Hockey and Beach Hockey

Beach or Sand Hockey

The New York Times published images of Canadi an soldiers playing hockey in the sand during the Gulf War.  Some like to claim that as the beginning of beach or sand hockey. Not necessarily so.

The guys shown are not Canadian, but Tunisian. Sand hockey only became visible, thanks to the New York Times photo of the Canadians.
