Team gets penalty time for playing 'strip hockey'
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOISE, Idaho — A junior hockey team was banished from a city ice rink after players engaged in “strip hockey” — shedding a piece of uniform every time a practice shot missed its mark.
The city of Boise forbid the Idaho Junior Steelheads team from using the Idaho Ice World rink for four days; one player who shed his underwear briefly was suspended until next week.
Doug Holloway, Boise’s recreation superintendent, says rink employees told him players would take something off every time they missed a shot.
An adult whose daughter was on another rink saw the 17- to 20-year-old Steelheads skating in their underwear and complained to a city hotline.
Rink employees who noticed the scantily clad skaters urged them to cover up. Police are investigating.
You know, I'm getting sick and tired of these media folk questioning how coaches and athletes get ready for competition. I doubt this AP reporter ever laced up a apir of skates or he'd know that strip hockey is an essential training tool in the preparation for a hockey game. The game motivates a player to be accurate or he'll freeze his dong off. What's so hard to understand about that. And this team has to catch hell because some guy's daughter saw some dudes in their underwear? I hate to break it to ya Pops but by the time she hits high school she will have seen a whole lot more than that! Viva los Steelheads! Also, in this case isn't that nickname a double entendre?
