Text of the artwork:
walking down to the pond
all the memories
came crashing back
first goal
the mountains, the sky and ice would turn red
my dad...well...he’d build boards
out of old sheets of plywood
then at night
he’d flood the backyard
we’d wake up to our own rink
where the mountains meet the plains
we’d
drive to the rink
in the dark
she’d always
make me
hot chocolate
long free days with a stick and skates
pond hockey
new skates
