1:23Now PlayingIDAHO FALLS -- It's like the game of bocce that can be played on grass in the backyard. You start by throwing a jack several feet and try to get your pieces as close to the jack as possible. A local ice sports enthusiast has come up with a similar concept, but played on ice.
“We came up with an idea called Ice Bocce. We’ve been developing the game, the rules, the components, and the philosophy of the whole sport and game since 2007," owner of Tesent Games Tracy Scott said. “We took the game of bocce (and) we combined curling with it, shuffleboard, bowling."
Scott developed a type of curl called a Slydysk. It's extremely durable, and used in a game called Slydysk, which Scott describes as a subset of the larger sport of Ice Bocce.
“We’ve probably gone through 10 different types of disks through this process," Scott said. “We finally came to a product that actually works. It’s the same stuff they use for doing the interior portions of the big turbines out in the ocean."
