No 'Cow handing'

I'm going to need a translation Joey...

Rule #1. No passing.

No real goalies in the net....It's most fun if the biggest puck hog fwd. plays goalie.

i always tell the kids no checking because thier out their to learn skills. you cant learn or practice skills with the kids skating around out their running into one another.

Rule #2. Slashing that Squirt who just dangled you teaches him to respect his elders.

Rule #2b) Don't punch the squirt who trips you causing a broken wrist.

#3 No cell phones Geezzz .........if ya can't play a pick up game without texting someone, stay home or go bother the warming house attendant.

Neut-----Cow handing is/was lifting the puck on the backhand

Its a term that dates back to the late 50's early 60's.

Well, I learned something new today.

Does the origin have anything to do with what you guys were using for pucks back then?

Anyone bringing beverages must assume that those beverages cooling in the snow are community beverages. So no crying when your once full soda is now empty.

I can hear it now Gorg on FSN will be using the term..."Oh and Big Cowhander stopped by the tender"
but we know it's from Joey...just another minnhock rip off

Does this act also require the bottom hand to flip over so the thump is pointing towards the opposite direction of the blade

1) If you make the crappy pass that goes to the other side of the lake, you have to go get it, and/or If you wing the puck outside of the rink into the snow, you have to go get it.
2) If you fail to keep your head up and move the puck, you deserve whatever's coming to you.

RE: Cow handing

We did use other 'things' for pucks at that age

IS---didn't have a thump.... but yes you could use any means at your disposal to get the puck/other substance in the air

Well in hockey sometimes you have to improvise. Like in this picture from the Johnson STP program.

losers shovel the ice clean.

last goal always wins if you are behind and don't feel like shoveling

That's a nice blocker!

Rule number #4 Make sure the hot chicks are invited to watch and play boot hockey after.

and a 5-hole Anna Nichol Smith would have envied

Rule 5. Don't be a Spehar.....there can be only one!
And if you try to imitate him, (floater) your fair game for a slash to the back of the leg by someone who actually tried.

yeah thats great should have a snow shovel for a stick

Don't send them in. Send them home.

Bottom line is there is no rules, just go out and kick the other teams Ass. It also wouldn't hurt to have a couple of young guys on your team.
