What is the game shinny?

In its simplest form shinny is a very widespread game where the ball is struck by a club or bat - the ball may never be touched with the hand, although kicking was permitted. In many tribes shinny was a game played only by women (rackets being a man's game). In some tribes both men and women played; among the Crows, a team of men generally played shinny against a team of women.The Arapaho version will serve as a typical example of the equipment and rules: the game was called gugahawat and each player had a 30 or 40 inch long stick with a slightly curved end; the ball was of painted deer hide, about 4 inches across and stuffed with buffalo hair. Two wooden posts were set up at each end of the playing area to act as goals several hundreds of yards apart; the object was to drive the ball into the opposing goal. There was no fixed number of players in each team and they could resemble small armies. Play could sometimes become extremely rough with the sticks used to club members of the opposing team, or to trip them at an opportune moment.


How to play shinny?

Shinny (also shinney) is an informal type of hockey played on ice or the street. There are no formal rules or specific positions, and generally, there are no goaltenders. The goal areas at each end may be marked simply by objects, such as blocks of snow, stones, etc. Bodychecking and lifting or "roofing/reefing/raising the puck" (shooting the puck or ball so it rises above the ice) are often forbidden because the players are not wearing protective equipment. It may also be called pick-up hockey, pond hockey, street hockey, road hockey, or "outdoor puck". Shinny is a game that all levels of hockey enthusiasts can play because it requires no rink, requires no skills except ability to hold a stick and at the very least to try to touch the puck or ball when it goes by. Shinny may be completely non-competitive and recreational - scoring irrelevant - or competitive and scores kept.
