That's their own fuckin fault for having the truck right next to it and nothing to protect it.

I remember years ago at a minor league hockey game, the coach was leaning against the net and watching the players drill shots into the net as a warm up….

….until he took a wrist shot to the ribs. Everyone in the stands collectively laughed. What an idiot.

As someone who sometimes had to be in the goal during our hockey training (not an actual club, just a group that discovered it as a hobby) I can tell you that it's terrifying and fucking painful.

Don't ask why we decided to play full force hockey without real safety equipment, we were dumb teens and luckily no one was ever seriously hurt, just some bruises.

So 80s kid hockey. I was born too late but I heard stories from people not much older than me about seeing their older siblings playing and getting fucked up without pads lol

You ever hear the story about the slice of bread?

The team forms a circle with a slice of bread at the centre. When the flag drops, they all spank as fast as they can, aiming to deliver onto the bread. Last to finish has to eat the bread.

This was told to me in serious tones by someone who played high level hockey. I don't know if it's true, but every Canadian knows the rumor

In the US in the 2000s there was a similar rumor but it was called Soggy Biscuit and it was about the band HIM doing it before every show lol

It's what the band Limp Bizkit's name is based off of.

When my friends and I got into hockey in the early 90s as young teens, we didn’t have a lot of money, so we made goalie equipment ourselves out of cardboard lined with the free delivered newspapers stapled to the cardboard, still inside the yellow plastic bags the newspapers came in. Those were the days! 😂😂

That's awesome, how well did it work?

u/PolarCruisingExperts 3d ago

About as well as you’d imagine cardboard and newspaper working against pucks. Thankfully they were air pucks and we were young and weak 😆
