Readying for Battle
One of the Misawa City teams dons their helmets before competition at the 6th Misawa Ice Hockey Exhibition at the Misawa International Center Ice Hockey Arena in Misawa City, Japan, Jan. 27, 2018. As a symbol of the city’s wishes for a prosperous New Year, the participants used equipment shaped like Misawa’s local produce. The garlic clove-shaped helmets, yam-like hockey sticks and clam-my pucks showcased the local economy and reinforced the community’s commitment to “co-prosperity and co-existence” among both Japanese and Americans.
