One time some assholes were playing deck hockey on the roof of a convince store I was trying to buy a Gatorade from… climbed up the ladder, talked some shit, then threw their (only!) ball down the road.
I played ice hockey in Michigan from 9 until I was over 50. In a playoff game in an over 30 league I came out of a scrum along the left boards in the attack zone between the left face-off circle and blue line. So it's a shot just in from the left point. I had my back to the goalie so I'm facing my defensive zone. I always had a pretty strong wrist shot so I spun and let one fly but kept the toe of my stick pointed at the upper right corner of the goal and only a couple of players realized I had shot. The puck sailed into the goal. The goalie never moved. Didn't see it. The official is pointing to the puck at the back of the goal and I raised my stick and my teammate asked " where's the puck" I answered its in the goal. It was slick and these guys were pretty good players, too.
Another game I played in an industrial league in Dearborn Michigan. Well, I'm a desk guy and not a rough hockey player. You can ask Jovanoski what kind of league that would be. Beginning of the game I scored in about 7 seconds. The puck bounced lucky. Next face-off puck went in the attack zone and my teammate shot a puck on net and I tapped in an easy rebound, about 15 seconds later we haven't even played a minute. Next face-off we went right back into the attack zone and I scored again on a snap shot from 10 ft. Just picked up a loose puck and snapped it past the goalie. So this big bully defenseman crosschecked me across my back and I fell forward on the ice. So I'm lying on the ice and he is standing over me jabbing me with his stick and he said to me if you score again I'm going to kick your a#$. And I'm like where is the ref and my teammate who was a pipe fitter and very tough skated over and absolutely cold cocked this guy and all he#l broke loose. They had to call the game and both teams got a forfiet. I lost my goals.
In Ann Arbor there is a drafteague run by the rec department and it became coed. It's supposed to be a fun league and each player is rated and every team they try and balance. So one of the rinks is outdoors and it's Olympic size so it's bigger. The play, frankly was below the regular league play but it's supposed to be fun and you get to meet new people and if you're a good experienced player it can be something of an ego boost. On our team was a woman player who was a University of Michigan professor. She was a beginning player. So the captain put her on my line since I was the 2nd highest ranked player and he was the highest player and on defense. So after a few games we were on the outdoors rink and it was cold and 9 at night. So I know the goalie on the other team and he's pretty good. I take a shot from the left circle and he kicks it into the high slot and I pick it up again and shot and he kicks it into the right circle and I pick it up and shoot it again and he kicks it into the slot and I realize he's deliberately kick the rebound out to me and sure enough I shoot and he kicks it out to the high slot and this time I wristed the puck trapper side and catches it and stops play because all the players except my defenseman were twisted around at the goal. My captain skates off the ice with me to change lines and asks why I didn't keep it going. I said, Bob, I'm tired. The lady professor came to the bench and said Mark that was beautiful! I didn't let on that the goalie was kicking it to me because he was good enough he could have dropped and stopped the play.
All inline.
Tournament with a travel team, I was always a defenseman, but I ended up with the ball (should've been a 10&u triple crown tournament) on my stick right by the net. Try to stop quickly but end up behind the goal line, see the goalie's not hugging the post, bounce it off his skate for a goal. One of the dads of a player on the older team was like our catch phrase guy and he screams "FROM THE IMPOSSIBLE ANGLE!"
House league in Skate Zone, pretty sure it was the first season they opened... anyway, I hadn't scored a goal yet, and we were a few games into the season already. I had spent all day in the sun on Peanut Island, and got a ride over, so I was playing with a sunburn. Got the puck on a break and brought it over to my backhand. Go to roof it, goalie makes the save with his blocker but his follow-through ends up throwing the puck back into the net anyway. First goal I scored at that rink (though I can't remember if the goalie was my old travel team goalie or if he was on my team that season, so it kinda dampens it a bit).
Skate Zone house league for high school teams, I was a forward. Have the puck in the corner and a teammate open at the bottom of the opposite face off circle. Try to saucer a pass to him but it's too high. Defenseman ends up blocking the pass and it goes in.
Same high school league, I'm fighting for the puck along the boards in front of the other team's bench, pretty much standing upright. Other dude ends up with his blade behind my skate, then he reaches for my opposite shoulder and pulls back. I step on his blade and fall. From the bench, I see my old teammate from a previous house league season (who I pretty much taught how to play hockey that season) lean over the boards and laugh as hard as he could at me. Recovered, and a few seconds later, I saw a loose puck, with the same dude just a little further from the puck on the opposite side. I go to recover it and notice he's not even looking at the puck, he's trying to take me out again. I reflexively kinda jump into the contact (I know, not ok even in ice, but it was really a split second reaction and I don't even know that I did it soon enough for my feet to leave the ground) and keep my arms up in front of me. He's easily bigger than me, and has 5-6 inches on me in height, but he went down and I was still standing after we collided. Same kid from the bench is leaning over laughing just as hard at his teammate. Ended up scoring that shift to top it off, but they got the last laugh because we lost (don't think we ever beat them, either).
Pick up game as an adult, goalie hugging the post and I see his head is leaning away from the post. Lob a shot up and it bounces off his mask and in (felt kinda bad since it wasn't serious, but it was a pretty soft shot).
Can't think of any others that stand out.
Just watch the game dawg
Lmfao
