This board was the second board made by RIOT Games and labeled as a "POPBox Hockey" Board. It was made
with a pine gameboard and contractor cast away Pine 1x4s bought at a
local hardware store. These boards were all purchased the same time as the last board. It was only after this board that the determination to use reclaimed or recycled wood was written in to the RIOT games company goals! It was made as a gift to one of the owners very good friends sons for his birthday! We thought it would be a good use for the second board ever made AND this friend was often at the same REC center back in the 1980's were this wooden game was originally played / discovered.
This
board is the first to be stained with the "Hockey Rink" standard pattern which is a goal crease, a red line on the top of the center board and the blue center ice and red face off circles. This board did not have the blue line yet as this was added to the "Hockey Rink" pattern after its production. The goal crease and center ice circle were the first water stained colors and the red face off circles were still stained with oil based stain. This board was meant to be a board that can be and should
be played hard while withstanding young children abuse! There were some imperfections with this board as some of the build guidelines were still rough and exact locations were not yet determined for the pattern.
This board is also pictured on the stained full size boards product page on the www.popboxhockey.com main page. The owner and
his friend have played on this board once and the record stands as the friend has 1 victory, the owner 0.
