Quotations

1887
There is tennis and boating in summer, and in winter ice-boating, snow-shoeing. . . .
1898
The ice-boating in Toronto Bay is probably the best to be found anywhere, owing to the number of times during the winter that fresh ice is formed, either by a clean sheet of new ice, or by a sharp frost after the flooding of the surface snow in a thaw.
1965
Iceboating is no easy sport and the Ghost Dam . . . is no place for beginners.
