Knowing my luck, if I went there to skate the Zamboni guy would show up and yell at me to step off the ice.

this is literally the most canadian thing

Damn, the view on Toronto in the background is amazing! Awesome video!

When I tell you if I had 24 hours to live this is where I’d want to spend it.

This by far the most Canadian thing I've ever seen. I live just by the Niagara falls USA side and love to go to the islands in the summer. The view is absolutely incredible from there. Amazing video sir

I thought you were you gonna literally skate across the entirety of lake Ontario

The dislikes are from the people who fell through the ice

You made that look easy on the bumpy ice.

Now I thought he was gonna skate from Toronto to Rochester

That is amazing. Its a dream for me to play there. Im from Germany, but one day i'll make it to Toronto🙏

This video gives me chills, absolutely euphoric.

I love hockey.

This is what being a 'canadian' is all about. Throughout the country from the maritimes to the prairies and to the pacific, from inuvik to point pelee there are people everywhere skating on frozen lakes and ponds. It is the quintesential Canadian activity which embraces the cold and warms the hearts and dreams of boys and girls everywhere. Skating is both powerful and magical in what it allows one to do. It is where children learn to dangle the puck, to glide across the open expanses, and feel the hidden power in themselves that pushes them farther and faster than they could ever dream possible. It is an adventure to skate on a cleared patch of lake ice and then learn that there were no limits to how far one could travel beyond that patch. It is an activity whose timetable is only limited by the winter night that falls earlier than desired. I, too, grew up gliding on ice, even if it was just a patch in the back yard lit by the porch light. I never grew tired of learning my limits and then pushing past them and then admiring those who excelled.

This is one of the most beautiful Canadiana videos that I've ever seen. It literally brought tears to my eyes. You took me right back to my childhood when skating around a frozen pond with a stick and puck always felt like pure freedom. All problems would disappear and your senses would become completely alive. Absolute perfection!!!

Who was the absolute bender that disliked this amazing video smh

I am Canadian too and that view is amazing! Great vid!

Coming from the UK I can only dream of luxuries such as this 😪😪

That is so beautiful. Words cannot express the beauty, serenity, majesty, and Canadiana of it. Makes me yearn to be there, doing exactly that!

Holy man this looks beautiful I love hockey and this is the best way to play it just relax with the boys and have a good time such a good way to let loose and forget about stress

As usual you made it perfectly esthetic and enjoyable! Congrats for the work you and your team!! Fan from France 👍🇫🇷

man,... that's sick playing with the puck with the cn tower in the background, really epic and could make a sick motivational poster hahahaha keep smiling Barber!

Pavel:skating on ice Random russian dude: in the mother land ice skate on you

What a beautiful view of the Toronto skyline while skating!!!

Wait till you get to the other side

Wow, the back round is breath taking.

as someone who just got into skating this made me wonder if i should even keep trying. but then i got a ton of inspiration from it. Im old (19) to start hockey but im never gonna give up!

I live in Toronto and everybody i know and people they know play and love hockey and the leaf's. New immigrants who hardly speak English embrace hockey and the leafs the whole city all 7 Million of us is united by hockey and really all 33 Million of us in Canada it's really beautiful. I can't wait for them to win the Stanley cup it will be so amazing not just for us here in Toronto but all of Canada:)

I grew up in Western NY on Lake Ontario. Beautiful video.

I love how easily you can jump over a bumpy spot, you got some serious talent both in skating and in handling the puck. Breathtaking background view of Toronto, this video is awesome, imagine showing this to your grandkids when you're old, thank you for sharing! Greetings from Quebec city!

This guy knows how to live - enthusiasm and youth will always be friends !

This gave me chills a few times. What an epic day.

And love your vids man there awesome

Loved the flick....... A bit of Canadiena and the beauty of all that this country is from snow and ice to urban skyline, along with he natural ethos of the game that has grown out of our climate...truly innovative along with the skill of all Hockey players professional or not!!!

Damn I wish my pond freezes soon. I miss playing this sport

Buddy you got to invest in a drone the shots would’ve been crazy in this setting

As a Canadian I am loving the accent coming from this man.

I used to be an extremely physical defenseman, but ever since I started watching your videos, I’ve changed my style of play to a more offensive defenseman and I’ve enjoyed hockey so much more!🙌

That is so cool!!!!Absolutely beautiful.

WOW. just beautiful footage man. thank you for sharing.

How does anyone give this a thumbs down. This is cool as heck and makes for a great shot.

This is an amazing video and is a Valentine from a man who loves winter, his country and the best sport on earth: Hockey. Congratulations.

This is the most Canadian thing I ever seen

This is the most Canadian thing ever

Awesome!! Fantastic view!!

I saw the tik tok u made.

I live on lakeshore property on the New York side! I love your videos!

Did the same thing 3 years ago, it was the first time I have ever played hockey outdoors. A day of playing hockey after visiting the HHoF the day before. Fun times/memories.

Dang I live in Toronto and I had no idea that the lake was frozen lol

Successfully made me miss home. Beautiful video.

God what a view!🙌🏻

This was stunning to watch

This is the most incredible video ever mate ! I love hockey

The cinematography in this video is awesome

Nice vid I’m a huge fan and that is awesome you got to skate there I am I 10 year old girl who played some hockey in the summer and I can’t imagine skating on Lake Ontario I’m happy that you enjoyed it!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminds me of the movie “Skating to New York” where a bunch of boys from a small canadian town skate across Lake Ontario to New York

A hockey player in its natural habitat

It would've been helpful & responsible to advise anyone seeing this & make a disclaimer, that the weather conditions were insanely cold 2yrs ago & that this is not a common occurance & shouldn't be tried in average/regular Toronto winter conditions. 2 years ago Toronto had a major cold spell (Polar Vortex) where temperatures dipped between -25°C & -40°C for a week that allowed for many parts of the lake to freeze over. If I recall correctly, all 4 (technically there are 5, but Lake Michigan & Huron are actually connected) Great Lakes that border Canada & the USA, all completely froze over that year.

This is so sick video🤩👌🔥🔥

Ok Toronto, you're pretty cool too👊. Awesome work on this!⛸🏒❄📸💚

Nothing like the snap & crack of natural outdoor ice.

Plot twist: *the lake is skating him*

This is absolutely legendary

Lucky lucky! Wish in San Francisco Bay have something like that lol

Great video, reminds me of a big pond hockey pond👍

Great vid Señor Barber!

what a beautiful video, all around

I’d learn how to skate just to do this. Looks so cool

This looks like so much fun. Wish I lived where there is some good outdoor ice to skate on.

This guy made winter look fun for 11 mins

nice video bro- love this country and this game

I live in LA and we would never get this 😥 this is my dream

great vid pav. keep up the amazing work!!

If you miss the last Ferry you can skate back.

10:10 reminds of the skating the river scene in Mystery Alaska. Awesome video!

this looks like a dream come true

Looks so Nice!😍🥵

Just a straight up beautiful video

Your video is nice !!! Keep me pushing forward to skating again :) thx

Dude you can really skate well. Love the puck action!

This is just beyond cool.

Awesome guys .. I live in Niagara falls ... I gotta go check that out

Incredible!!!

Great vid like always

That looks so fun I gotta try

That’s a hell of a skating workout.

You would have to skate on a regulation sized rink length ways (200 f or 60.96) 1399.27822 times skate to cross Lake Ontario width ways (85.30 km or 279855.643 feet). It wouldn't take the same amount of energy though because of the stopping in the rink.
