Strength is an important commodity to have when bringing a seal in from the hole in the ice. The contestant must land forward of the mark where the stick was. When all players accomplish this, the stick is moved another two inches forward for each round until a winner is determined. Each player is allowed three attempts at each distance in case of misses. This is another game of athletic prowess and balance.
Balance is needed while negotiating the rotten ice during breakup.
ARM PULL Two athletes position themselves facing each other so that their legs are positioned where one leg crosses over opposite leg of the other competitor. Two out of three attempts will declare a winner. After each attempt, the players switch arms and legs. Brute strength is revered when bringing the quarry out of the hole in the ice. Several walrus skins are used for this event.
