[catherineseguin2007]

Sweet. How many days did it stay like that before it snowed on it?

[PD4life]

This is why i ♥ all of North America. :]

This is a pond hockey game involving Yukon College students from Whitehorse, Yukon.  Gabe Rivest stumbled upon a smooth-as-glass lake on Windy Arm, which is part of Tagish Lake in Yukon. He grabbed six classmates and they hit the ice Sunday.

Sportsnet posted the video on its website.

"I was totally not expecting it," he said. "I guess for lots of people in the world, it's probably a very amazing thing to see. It was unreal to be there."

Canada is the most beautiful country! :)

[oSoviet]

[mrtnt1717]

@funonvideo i think he would have been using a gopro camera.

[funonvideo]

This is so beautiful and representative of how incredible Yukon scenery is....may I ask what type of camera you recorded with? Was it on a headband?

[ajbarron]

Oh Canada

Our home and native land....

[BrookMorrison]

Gotta love Canada

[danielmad]

man, i love this country.. I'd was about to say they should play the winter classic there, but i don't think they'd appreciate it. Lets keep it as our own secret jewel.

[capaddler]

Yes indeed beautiful.  Thanks for posting.

[sasscatlady]

[TrueXile420]

[littleenglish]

[Canadianbacon1327]

Too bad Alberta hasn't frozen over yet

[thegefster]

This is why Canada rocks at hockey.

[bauervapor7117]

person below is an idiot

[jasonjslam]

isn't that a little risky

maybe they test the ice first

[kabd45]

Hey what kind of camera are u using??

[themurdo21]

Endless ice....heaven, is that you? (if there was a heaven) ;)

[AdmiralAss85]

the ice was about 7 to 9 inches thick which is more then enough to skate on. Also the ice is black cause were standing over water that deep. there are photos of the shelf comming into view which are amazing. Being the windy arm of tagish the name itself explains why there is no snow on the surface. great video gabe shows off our home wonderfully.

[kooger94]

[kidkawartha]

[Jon95McC]

[Jon95McC]

[jhr459]

how thick is that ice?

[brandonadrew]

@jhr459 I would hope at least a foot. So black though makes me think it's really thick

[RDThockey]

Vraiment superbe comme endroit pour jouer au hockey!

[infexion3]

[skyline1905]

[jjballer999]

[TheBlaaahhhhhh]

I am so jealous.

[MsKlackey]

Makes me homesick.. Thanks for sharing this!

[danielthompson]

This is really beautiful. What time of year was this shot? Recently? What was the outdoor temperature like?

[TheAquason]

@danielthompson I would say recently by about 2-4 days.

[gababitibi]

@danielthompson couple of days ago... 0 degree the first day about -8 the next one...

[tuuky]

@gababitibi I'm assuming that's Celsius? (sorry, south of the border here). Man, that place should be packed with people!

[toraptorseveryday]

@tuuky yeah youd think but yukon's population is like 20,000 people spread over a huge piece of land

[mnnvixin23]

@tuuky Reason is in the yukon there are so many places like this :D

[mrubacky]

@gababitibi Is this just especially good conditions or can you normally get ice like that?

[Arsen1c42]

i hate you so much for posting this :( im in texas and would LOVE to skate there..

[supermansakic]

@Arsen1c42 So you...HATE...him? for posting this? Wow you need help. Maybe instead of hating someone you should thank them and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Then maybe if you can hold a job, get a plane ticket and fly up to one of these lakes and enjoy it for yourself :)

[Hojunhu]

@supermansakic The gun, you jumped it.

[abitofneither]

@supermansakic maybe you should take the douche-goggles off and try reading that comment again before you make any statements on who here needs help. and maybe look up the definition of irony while you're at it.

[OttawaSenators41]

@supermansakic LOL you took that waaaaay to literally.

[Arsen1c42]

@supermansakic I don't actually hate him :) I envy him for having such a beautiful location to play at and the time to play there, I have a very good paying job and work full time, with limited days off but thank you for your suggestion ;)

[skiter666]

the sun flashing in the mountain is just awesome!

BIG contrast from where I'm now. (Spring in Brazil)

[Gooseman241]

That puck is going! going!  and its gone!!!!!

[EoinCondon]

This is so calming. Just gliding. This is heaven.

[captkarl]
