I would think if that was the reason it would have been made clear but if not that could explain it. If it had been warm enough to produce freezing rain the night before .
Was your practice outdoors like our ice rink was? I can even remember playing street hockey at -20 . I'd come home with the cuffs of my jeans frozen board stiff. We'd be running and generating enough heat to melt snow when we knocked each other in the snow bank ( our boards) then it would freeze when we stopped. At least that was our theory of why it happened.
I will say that today's boots are better . I remember how white my toes would be on those days.
Sandlot sports were some of the best times of my life. Then those hormones took over ! . Even so we still played occasionally.

I can remember a stretch in February 79 of over a week when it started out at -40 or colder every morning! It seldom if ever got above zero that week. We probably can't quite compare with yellow Knife but yeah if you dressed for the weather, kept moving and got the hell inside if the wind came up when it was well below zero you'd be OK.
Those days taught me a lie. That I could eat whatever i wanted , whenever I wanted and burn it off. That ended in my 30's! LOL

Yep, outdoors and we had to make our own ice.
We all had long hair at the time and the sweat would make it freeze.
If someone pissed you off enough, you'd just reach out and break off their hair.
It was probably the best time of my life, even with the stops and starts drills.
Yeah, hormones lol
