"Ice Hockey under the palms. Ice Hockey on a sunlit beach, in the shadow of waving palms, with the 'fans' occupying beach chairs and wearing bathing suits! It can't happen here, you say? The explanation is that the ice is manufactured with chemicals the mixture having a base of hyposulphite of soda. it is melted in a big pot on the beach and poured wherever desired. To resurface, just go over it with an ordinary electric iron".
