Embarassing Hockey moments.

[gosinger 122]

Only my second game yesterday, we were on a 2on1 break with me trailing my C. He dekes the D, the goalie comes out of his net and jumps for the poke-check, straight onto my tape. So there I am, my C and the D besides the goal, the goalie (who somehow spun around so belly down, his skates towards me, his head towards the net) flat as a pancake infront of me far from his crease, so I decided to blast it high onto the net. But somehow I couldn't lift the puck and just drilled the goalie on his ass-cheek (very little padding there it seems). Goalie didn't know whether to laugh or curse at that safe

I've had some good ones. Slapped the puck into my team's net during a squirt game, and somehow, at the time, I was the only player standing. I can remember the hot feeling of my face and hoping I could hide behind my cage. My other favorite, going in on a break away or shoot out and watching the puck slide harmlessly off my stick and into the corner. Didn't even get a shot off. Or the other night, wound up to take a monster one time slap shot and hit nothing but air! I don't even think my stick touched the ice. Oy.

Once every few months I trip over a red or blue line while gliding backwards, or mid-transition, or some other completely trivial maneuver.

The problem with this seems to be that it only happens on the bench side of the rink with no one else within 30 feet of the incident to distract the boys or obfuscate it.

The first time my girlfriend came to one of my skates as a spectator I fanned on two snappers in a row... just lost the puck. Not slappers, *snappers*. Not in traffic, just routine, all-alone shots. Attempted shots, anyway. I still have trouble getting her to take me seriously in any aspect of my life.

OK, I have a couple good ones.

1) There have been a few cases where I'll break out of the Defensive zone on a break-away or receive a pass that sends me on a break away and as I'm rushing up the ice, the puck slides of my stick and into my skates and then I look like a complete idiot.

2) the other night I was covering D and floating out around centre ice while my team was in the Offensive zone. Well I was gliding backwards my skate hit a huge divet in the ice. I went FLYING backwards, both feet up in the air.

I land on my ass and my head goes slamming backwards. Both benches go "OOOOOOOH!" I kinda sit there for a sec and count to 5 so I don't completely blow a gasket (was having a bad day) and then get up. When I got up my pants fell down all the way to my ankles which brought out even more reaction from the benches.

It seems that when I landed on the ice, the buckle on my belt snapped and just let go of the belt altogether. I had to head to the change room, grab the leather belt I wear with my jeans and continue with the game.

Haha, sorry man, but picturing that is kind of funny. I've been there too, but my pants never fell down.

[osicks 6]

That's alright.

Even though I was having a bad day, I was certainly able to find the humour in it.

I was just pissed at having caught an edge and hitting the ice hard.

Haha I got a good chuckle from that one. It also totally reminded me of something I did a couple seasons ago when I started playing again.

I was rushing up the left boards as a winger during a breakout, and someone sent me a pass. I was turning my head left and right trying to see where the puck was but I couldn't find it so I did a 180 transition to go backwards and then next thing I know the puck was right at my feet. I tried to catch the pass with my feet and then caught an edge. I literally stopped the puck dead, but I went flying into the offensive zone both feet in the air landing on my ass and then helmet hitting the ice putting myself offside. Both benches totally did the 'Oooooh' reaction as well. My bench, totally laughed at me too because I caused a whistle and had to do a line change due to soreness haha.

Something similar happened to a guy on my team years ago. The difference was that when he caught an edge, he was still twisting around and ended up with a broken leg.

That totally happened to one of my teammates a couple years ago. I didn't play for a few years and it was my first game in the new league. He broke his ankle first game of the year catching an edge, and I never saw him again. Kind of freaked me out for a bit actually.

[hunterphfr 12]

I had an embarrassing hockey moment happen nowhere near the ice. Living in Florida the hockey circle is a fairly small and insular group. I grew up in Canada and many of my friends and teammates are fellow expats or northerners. My son who is 12 skates 4 +/- days a week and is fully immersed in this environment in spite of growing up in Florida, through his play, my play, coaches, trainers and friends. He happened to have a non-hockey friend over playing Xbox as I was heading out to the rink for a game. His friend was awe struck by the fact my son's dad played hockey and asked incredulously in what league. My son without batting an eye instantly responded just as my wife who is a native Floridian was walking by "he plays in the beer league!" My wife (who is all too familiar with post game rehydration) stopped mid-stride, turned, glared at me and proceeded to question me on the appropriateness of our 12 year old son running around calling my league the beer league. I half heartedly attempted to explain that it wasn't me or my associates that had coined the phrase beer league and that the term probably existed before I even started to play the game.

every time i touch the puck

Right after I began playing, I was at sticks and pucks. I had, not even a decent wrist shot, but what could be identified as a wrist shot, but hadn't attempted a slap shot on ice yet. So, with only 5 or 6 people on the ice I decided to try it. Keep in mind, I had recently bought a new helmet and decided to wear a visor. (I hadn't even skated at a real drop in yet, so I felt safe in a visor until I began playing for real.) Anyway, I wind up, swing rather wildly at the puck, make contact, but shift my weight way too far forward and go sprawling. I faceplant, the visor hits the ice, helmet shifts up and the visor hits me under the eye.

I get a black eye to take home, ending up telling everyone that asked that I got hit with a puck, a "glancing blow" and that I'd "learned my lesson and would be wearing a shield from now on."

[shaundizzle15 2]

I have a couple. First at an open skate with the gf, and her best friend who figure skated for years is giving me crap about skating. So I decide I'll spray before we get off for the zam, except I catch an edge and wipe out through the door. The other one is much worse imo, I work at a rink as a Z driver and as such get to skate on open ice for free. So we have like 2.5 hours of open ice and I tell two buddies come out, we're skating for probably 15-20 mins and I take an average wrister miss the high and break the glass. Would of been awesome except the shot was awful and I had to haul ass to replace the glass before mens league started.

Stepped on the Ice not realizing I had sock tape stuck on the bottom of skates, fell right on my arse....and it had to be the one time I had family and friends show up.

[Dave003 2]

Everytime I step on the ice! haha but really Its almost halfway through my first winter season since I started skating 2 years ago and of the 20+ breakaways Ive had so far... I still have 0 goals. Im quick but due to limited Ice time my turning and stopping are hit and miss, cause of this Ive gotten the nickname "Luis Mendoza" (MightyDucks).

[Speedz98 15]

After missing a grade-A break away chance I looked to the rafters in disbelief while crashing into my own teammate during the one game my girlfriend chose to attend.

[pittu 15]

Almost every game or pick up, I embarrass myself with a give away pass in the defensive zone. Pisses me off as much or more than those on my team, but yet I still seem to do it every game...ARrRRRGggggg..

I was offsides on a 2-0 breakaway

[OpenIceHit42 2]

Playing roller hockey for the first time in almost 8 months (been playing ice) and completely forgetting how to stop on inlines.

When I first started playing back in 2004, I started playing right handed. I was really struggling, but just chalked it up to the learning curve of playing ice hockey, never having been on the ice before. In my second season of adult league I happened to get a breakaway, as I am going down the ice I just didn't feel comfortable all of the sudden and flipped my stick over mid-breakway and took the shot on the backhand side of the stick. Literally, skating down the ice, didn't feel comfortable and shot it that way. I skated to the bench after and my friend handed me a left handed stick and well it changed my game... we still get a pretty good laugh about it.

I bet the goalie had no idea what to think about that one. Definitely an unexpected change up. haha.

reminds me of that amazing goal bobby ryan scored with mikko koivu's stick

[greasy17 19]

Years ago I never used to tape my pants in roller. I was wearing a new pair of Black Biscuts that were rather large while playing defense when this specific incident occured. The other teams fastest player was blazing out of his zone with the puck which resulted in a one on one with me on D. Mid backwards crossover, my pant leg came untucked form the back of my skate and got caught under my wheels. It immediately ripped my pants down to my knees as I fell backwards about 10 feet from the center line. As I laid on my back the opposition flew past me and ended up scoring a goal. Not only was I undressed literally, the other team scored a goal to boot!

Ha! I forgot this happened to me too, same pants and all. Me playing defense, one on one with the forward, I'm skating backwards and...BOOM, my head falls back, I hit the rink, and I watch the guy go in and score. There was probably about 100 people watching the game, too.
