When you think of Utah, you definitely don't think of hockey. In fact, the only professional sports team to come out of the state is the NBA's Utah Jazz. Other than that, the only images most get from the word Utah is desert with some mountainous regions.
Well, turns out they have some hockey product that the whole world can be jealous of. In a video posted by NHL on NBC Sports, a hockey player is seen skating on an absolutely stunning sheet of ice. He zigs and zags with a puck on his stick across what appears to be a frozen lake in the middle of sunny Utah. Half expecting the subject to fall through the ice, it turns out to look like the best game of shinny all-time.
The best part about a game of shinny on this perfect surface? When the ice eventually gets chopped up you can just pick up the nets and move to a new spot.
No Zamboni necessary.
