Hockey silliness

[goaliemanshark 6]

So my team lost our playoff game... which sucks, but this allows me time to prepare to for the consolation game.

The league I play in is very laid back, and VERY slow. Becasue most games don't matter (everyone makes the playoffs), the games are filled with shenanigans. Because I am one of the better players I have two goals every game. Have as much fun as possible and make sure other people have as much as possible. Becasue the consolation games really means absouelty nothing some silly stuff is bound to happen (goalies taking faceoffs, penalty shots awarded instead of sitting, random holding and fake fighting). I want to take it one step further!

Here are some of the ideas I have come up with (they have to be realtively safe and not too obstructive to the game):

- Wear a cape, Kane style

- Sunglasses under my cage

- Bring both my sticks out for a shift or two

- Swap gloves and sticks with the goalie, and ill play goal for a few minutes

- Put a sombrero or beanie on my helmet

- Have a bunch of jerseys underneath my team jersey, pull them off one at a time

- Randomly bear hug people

- Forget my stick on the bench, and try and play soccer for a shift

- Mini stick, Perry style

Becasue these games don't matter, shenanigans are encouraged by all parties. The goal is just to have as much fun as possible!

Any got some killer ideas?

We had one of those games and it was around Halloween and one of the guys on the other team wore a big fake plastic ass on the outside of his pants. Couldn't help but laugh every time he skated by.http://www.costumeshopper.com/prods/fm25785.html

Play a shift holding your stick upside down. Hold the blade and try to play the puck with the butt-end. Often used as a drill for teams, this might be part of the mix.

[Law Goalie 147]

Following jds, comedy breasts are always a hit.

When playing the shift without your stick, continually take your teammates sticks (occasionally by force) and then 'lose' them.

See if you can get your hands on one of those giant inflatable suits that the Leafs (and some other teams) use for slapstick between periods.

Long, flowing wigs -- lots of them.

Stereo on the bench to play a ridiculous themesong every time you go on the ice.

Getting someone to come in a 'coach costume' (tracksuit or a horrible sportcoat + outrageous tie) and verbally abuse you all game long.

Play shifts with a lacrosse stick, field hockey stick, floor hockey stick, broom, plastic shovel, or other absurd but vaguely ice-sport related implements: nothing dangerous, of course.

Bring a gigantic PLASTIC vodka or gin bottle filled with water on the bench, and/or on top of your goalie's net: swig liberally and dramatically.

Have the ref swap the real puck for a mini puck between whistles, then switch back again.

Find out if the rink has a pond-hockey net (6" tall) or a mini skills net and have them install that behind your goalie during the warmup, or call timeout and do it during the game.

Simply peg your net backwards and see how long it takes anyone to notice.

Add a girl or two to your team, then put them on the ice with five other male skaters and insist that you can't be called for 'too many men.' Also helps if you and the girls trade sexist slurs during the course of the discussion.

Grab a broken stick and make yourself a 10-foot Willie Mitchell Special: if asked, say that your only prior experience was in Chexx Bubble Hockey, and that you want to play left wing.

You are definitely on to something here...get out before everyone else...and have a line of plastic shot glasses along the top of the boards at the bench.,......(with the big bottle clearly visible to everyone). Do the first one...make a really nasty shot face...then INSIST that everyone else does at least one before the game...see how hesitant people are...film it too...might be good for a Candid Camera type reaction!!

Get with the refs before the game and let them in on it. When your teammates are hesitant, call the refs over to have a shot with you.

Better yet, get all but one of the guys in on it. Then what you do is pour water shots for everyone except the guy not in on the gag who gets vodka. Do multiple shots and let the hilarity and highjinks follow. Also works at bachelor parties.

That's funny as hell... mean... but funny.

Law Goalie with some gold! I especially like this one:

[Gummer12 134]

if you score first... everyone on your team leave the ice. (Temporarily)

[steelnation248 101]

Law Goalie has some great ideas. The stereo could also be used in celebrating when a goal is scored. Choreographed dance to a rediculous song would be entertaining.

LOL, like you just scored the OT goal and go shake everybodys hand and then hit the locker room . Excellent!

[Xuno 14]

Buy two lightsabers from Wal-Mart, give one to a guy you're buddies with on the other team, and both of you hide them in your socks or something. Right after a faceoff, start fighting.

haha

[goaliemanshark 6]

Hot damn. Some of these are freaking amazing. Keep em coming!!!

I may need to recruit a friend to film/help me with everything...

[MyBoxersSayJoe 133]

I had a JV game my second year of coaching where all the kids would draw mustaches or elaborate goatees on themselves before games.

[5 Minute Major 1]

I want to come and watch this game! haha Awesome ideas!

[sabby47 2]

Vagina Power! Haha my bestfriend and I wore our undies over our pants and capes during a tourney game we knew we just had no chance in winning to try to keep everything light-hearted. I felt like a total idiot when right after this pic was taken I (tourney director) had to run onto the ice and then direct EMS to the player that went head first into the boards.

A couple months before this we were playing in game 2 of 3 for the league championship and put a midget blowup doll in our teammates bag, just in case we lost to keep the team spirits up after the game. Being the "knockers" on the team we try to keep everyone from taking things too seriously and we have a lot of fun along the way.

I recomend Sir Mix A Lot's "Baby Got Back".

[Law Goalie 147]

Hahahaha exactly. I had Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" in the back of my mind.

Sabby's blow-up doll has huge potential: in a bag, on the bench, serving penalties, pull your goalie and put her in net...

What league are you in, goalieman? That sounds pretty cool.

[goaliemanshark 6]

I play in a couple leagues. This one has more of a club format, making it very different from most leagues.

Each night has a different skill level.

Saturday is beginner, Thursday is Int, Wednesday is upper int, Friday is advanced

You get the idea...

I play on the mixed non competitive night. So you have people on each team from each skill level. And you are supposed to play down to the person you are directly playing against. Also the teams get blown up frequently and trades are made between the 6 teams meaning its in your best interest to not make enemies. Also if there is room you can sub for every game that night. So I usually play 3 games every Monday. It's all about fun and making everyone have a good time.

The non competitive nature and slow pace can be frustrating for some, that's why I just try and have as much fun and create as much shenanigans as possible.

I'm so excited for Monday. I need to hit up the party store to get some stuff. I think I have someone on the other team who will participate in the shenanigans with me.

[goaliemanshark 6]

Shenanigans certainly insued.

- Attached a sombrero to my helmet and my helmet camera.

- Wore a Canadian flag as a cape, then when people got used to it I switched to an Anmerican flag because I am in no way Canadian.

- Participated in a sword fight at center ice on my first shift.

- Played Lefty

- Played with my butt end

- Played with 2 sticks

- Stole someone's stick and then played with three sticks!

- General Silliness on the ice.

Someone on my own team hipchecked me! Other's had wigs, antlers and bunny ears on. It was a good time.

Nazareth Ice Oasis?

[AIREAYE 248]

HAHA loved it when you 'checked' #13 (green wig) into the boards, so epic. The wipeout at the end was amusing as well. How dare you keep smacking that RS of yours like that, you clown...oh wait.
