A 66-year-old grandfather from northern China has turned his balcony into an ice rink so he can play hockey from the comfort of his own home.

Footage captured in the city of Tianjin shows Zhang Baoqi hitting a puck around with his grandson on January 14.

The balcony rink was reportedly built at the end of 2021.

It took Zhang nearly three months just to complete the sound insulation and waterproofing and the whole project lasted six.

Zhang started to play ice hockey when he was a teenager and he joined a local team when he was 18 years old.

Zhang met one of his old teammates several years ago and promised to pick up his stick once again before the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

The video was provided by local media with permission.
