Hockey is a way of life for the families who love it: pre-dawn drives to the rink with coffee in the cupholder, the smell of a hockey bag drying in the garage, sticks taped just right, and that roar when the puck finally finds the back of the net in overtime. This piece puts all of it into one word, with HOCKEY in sturdy, square-serif capitals and a solid puck sliding in to take the place of the O. Each sign is handcrafted and hand-cut from a single thin sheet, then finished in hammered black or hammered silver with a fine, grainy texture. It measures 21.5 inches wide by 4.25 inches tall and weighs about a pound, a long, low line that fits above a bed, a bench, or a row of jersey hooks. Hang it in a player's bedroom, a basement rec room or man cave, a garage gear wall, or with other sport words on a family wall. A fun gift for a youth player after a first season, a beer-league regular, or the hockey parent who has spent more weekends at the rink than at home.
