When the NHL lockout was still on, a Chicago family of hockey-lovers were so desperate for their favourite winter sport that they took matters into their own hands.
Using a lot of hard work and 15,000 gallons of water, the family successfully built themselves their very own ice rink in their backyard! Not only that, they recorded the entire process in more then 28,000 photos and compiled it into an impressive video.
Check out the making of their awesome ice rink in the video below:
