Gothenburg, Sweden.
"There was winter where it was really cold, and we went up to the forest, and we could skate around there on a small lake, it was really frozen," said Klingberg. "We put up two nets and played our [butts] off. There were a lot of kids, probably 10 to 20 kids skating. The ice was horrible, but it was so fun.
"That's how you start playing hockey. You have a pair of skates at home and play at the lakes that are frozen, but that is probably more common in Canada. I was living so close to the rink that every time after school I took off to the rink. Lot of hockey when you were a kid for sure."

"When I grew up there was an outdoor rink," Stars defenseman Roman Polak said. "We were practicing there, playing the games, everything. Everything was outdoors."

"That's all we did. We were outside playing hockey," said Stars forward Tyler Pitlick. "Mom was bringing pizza in the afternoon, and we stayed there all day until we had to go home for dinner. A lot of fun, lots of memories. It should bring some back."
Pitlick's memories of playing outdoors go beyond his youth. He's played in a couple of outdoor games as a pro, including the Heritage Classic between the Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg on Oct. 23, 2016.
"It was fun. The whole lead up, and everything is fun. The morning skate experience is fun. The game is what it is; it's another game," Pitlick said. "You notice more in the practice because you are having fun and you can appreciate it. During the game, you're in it, the adrenaline is going, and you are just trying to get into the game."
