SUDBURY, Mass. — A little boy who loves hockey is finally getting the chance to skate, despite the pandemic.
His grandfather built him an ice rink right in his backyard.
It's not something people expect to see in a quiet neighborhood in Sudbury, Massachusetts.
Seven-year-old Nicolas Bongiorno kept asking, "Papa, can we skate? Papa, can we skate?"
"It was so hard to wait, but it's done now," Nicolas said.
