On February 10, 2025, we met at the ice rink at Lake Rossau. After refreshing our knowledge of the game rules, we equipped ourselves with ice stocks and a target puck (Daube). After a few test throws, the game began. This time, we competed in two teams of four players each. As the game progressed, our throws became more precise, turning it into a neck-and-neck race. We ended the evening with a dinner together at the restaurant "Deck 47".
