Fans can be goalies.

What happens if both of a team’s goalies are injured and unable to play?

Fans step in to help! Anyone can serve as a backup goalie, including someone in the audience.

In 2020, an emergency goalie from the audience filled in as the Carolina Hurricanes’ netminder and got the win for the team.

Players use the Stanley Cup as a snack bowl.

When a team wins the Stanley Cup, every team member gets to keep it for 24 hours.

As long as the watcher or trustee permits it, the players can do whatever they like with the Cup.

Since the Cup is actually a punch bowl, many players use it to hold drinks and snacks.

Some treats enjoyed from the trophy include champagne, chicken wings, cereal, and ice cream.

Referees drop the puck for a good reason.

Before 1914, hockey refs used their hands to place the puck between the two players’ sticks in a faceoff.

For obvious reasons, this wasn’t a good idea.

After many cuts, bruises, and likely broken bones, they began dropping it between the pucks instead.

Remember The Mighty Ducks? The Anaheim, California hockey team was named after the famous Disney film and was once owned by the company.

In 2007, a year after Disney sold the franchise, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim won the Stanley Cup.

Today they are known as the Anaheim Ducks.

Ice in the rink is less than an inch thick.

The ice layer in a professional hockey rink is only ¾ inches (1.90 cm) thick and is kept at -9℃ (16℉).

Thinner ice layers allow the water to freeze faster and harder.

The thicker the ice, the softer and slower it becomes.

Octopus-throwing is a lucky tradition for Red Wings fans.

When there were only six NHL teams in 1952, eight wins during the playoffs clinched the Stanley Cup.

Think of 8 wins as tentacles on an octopus.

That was the line of thinking brothers Pete and Jerry Cusimano, who threw an octopus on the ice during a Red Wings playoff game that year.

Since the team took the Cup, octopi have become the team’s lucky charms.

And as of 1995, an octopus became the team’s official mascot.
