Hockey Turf with Paul Kamphuis

Coincidentally this week was also Hockey Turf Day, so we hoped you celebrated appropriately. If you haven’t, watch “The Surface,” a really interesting documentary about the evolution of hockey turf. The “Smurf Turf,” as it was nicknamed, debuted at the London 2012 Olympics. Paul’s got the details on how the iconic blue and pink look came about.
