This board was the first mini POPBox Hockey board made by RIOT Games. It was made
with a pine gameboard leftover from the first POPBox Hockey full size board and contractor cast away Pine 1x3s bought at a
local hardware store. This was the first mini that was made because the owner wondered what to do with the left over pine plywood from the first board. It was only after this board was made that RIOT Games decided to make mini POPBox Hockey boards. Now the mini POPBox Hockey boards are intended to be the board that can be brought easy to friends houses, trips, campgrounds, you name it! One use the the owner has made of the mini is to keep it at his work desk. Additionally, they are easier to store than the full sized boards.
This
mini
board is stained with the early, no blue line, "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 mini 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. There is NO goalie options for the mini, there is no need for them! There were/are some
imperfections with this board as the build guidelines were still
rough and exact locations were not yet determined for the pattern PLUS this was the first mini made!
This
board is pictured on the home page and mini POPBox Hockey boards section
on the www.popboxhockey.com main and product page. This board has quickly become a favorite of the owners oldest son. The play is fast as the checker or puck bounces around a lot with the smaller board and smaller goal AND the goals come quick with all the bouncing. That being said, a direct shot needs to be exact with so little give at the goal.
