On April Fools day, the Jets had a game against Calgary Dragons. Zlatan Ibra Jr., wanted to prank his team so he decided to make his own energy drink for the entire team. Zlatan Ibra Jr., brought a huge container of it and asked everyone of his teammates to try the drink before their game against the Dragons. He was like "Guys, we have lost every game thus far so lets see if we can break the spell with this magic potion I created". Everyone laughed and began chugging the drink before they left to the match. Boom, everyone was so energized that even the audience was surprised that the Jets were killing the dragons in the first period. Then came the second period and the score was 3-0. So after the 2nd intermission, players started feeling a little dizzy and vibing and they asked Zlatan what the hell he put inside. He told them "hmm, nothing crazy just some good old swedish Vodka. The players were furious, they were like why the hell would you do that. Zlatan just laughed it of and headed to the third period. Everyone besides Zlatan started to be lethargic and boom the Calgary dragons have now tied the game. Game goes into overtime, and history repeats itself as the Jets blew a 3-0 lead all because of Dumb Zlatan. After the game, the players decided to prank Zlatan and brought him to a gay strip club.
This is a traditional prank pulled on every rookie Armada player when they first join the organisation, going back to the days when GM Max Brannagan took over the franchise. Santtu had it last year and now he was helping out this year. The anchorage locker room has a mannequin of a navy soldier holding a rifle, a symbol of not only the franchise but of respect every player had for the military heritage of the state of Alaska.
For this first practice with the rookies though, something special was to happen. They would be called in at different times for what they thought was one on one time with the head coach. As they passed by, Santtu Rasanen was lying in wait dressed in the uniform with a prop gun. Once a rookie passed by, he fired the gun and freaked out the rookie. Best reaction came from Matthew Sawful who had to jog down the hallway after hearing the shot.
In Calgary we always do a bit of rookie hazing and this year is no different with two awesome Dragons rookies in Joseph Weston and Alexei Rykov. So what better way to get things kicked off right then prank them both on April fools day. One of the first things we did was put Icy Hot in their jock straps, this made for a great reaction a few minutes after they started putting their equipment on and the team got a good laugh as they ran to the bathroom and started splashing water on their rookie balls. The next thing we did was have them lead us out for warm ups, but the rest of the team didn't go out behind them and they had to take a few embarrassing laps on their own to the song 'I will Always love you'. The fans seemed to really enjoy that one. We then spiked their water bottles with vodka and they both ended up squirting it in their eyes after their first shift, I felt bad about that one after but lesson learned for the rooks. Never trust a water bottle you don't fill yourself. @ACapitalChicago @RaginCajun

For April Fools Prince Devitt decided to pull a very risky prank on one Atlas Rush @Rublic which had his sister from California make a surprise visit to Calgary to help Devitt out. Now it's notorious that Prince Devitt is a known Rock N Rolla and it was reported earlier in the off-season that he was seen partying at Vegas NightClubs, little did the media know that Rush's sister was in of the NightClubs was getting a little too friendly with Devitt. Well it's not what you think, it was a planned setup just in case any paparazzi catch them together. Now fast forward to 11 PM EST on March 31st, Rush's sister was visiting Devitt's house with Devitt during that time making a phone call asking if Rush could drive a lady friend home that had too much to drink. When Rush got there he was very shocked to see his sister answering the front door first with almost no clothes and barged right through her to go beat up Devitt. Where Devitt put up a sign saying April Fools, but an enraged Rush clocked Devitt with a right hook by accident as he didn't see the sign. Rush's sister had to stop Rush doing any further more damage and tell him it was all a prank. Rush had a good chuckle and gave Devitt an apology and they all went their separate ways.

This is a real one that happened, so I hope I can write about it. Yesterday I woke up and booted up my PC so I could work from home, like so many others in these strange times. I opened up slack so people from work would know I was on, and then I went to open up discord. Something was off, I could tell right away by the fact that where there normally stood a beautiful, red falcon, was a scarecrow. I clicked on the server and found no Detroit falcon players were there, and, in fact, I wasn't even a Detroit falcon anymore. My nickname on the server had been set to Eric Hudson. Jobin's name had been changed to Elizabeth Doyle, and Teddy's name had been changed to Danny Marston! It was madness. Everyone kept saying "*scarecrow noises*", which just confused me because I couldn't figure out what the heck that even meant. I didn't actually ever find out who was responsible, but I am pretty sure Tig is behind it. It would make sense since he is the GM and runs the server. What a wild and scary time that was.
This April fools was important for us Maine Timber, as we had to have add some brightness in our locker-room despite our shaky start to the season. A bunch of players were pranking each other but it seemed like the management was gonna escape this one unscathed. I decided to punk Head GM Tomas Kubovcik, he notoriously hates spicy food, can't stand the stuff and has a crazy low tolerance. Being from Grozny I have a little more experience with spice and was able to find a very spicy sauce Stateside that was comparable to a Georgian sauce that used to make me cry like a baby. Here is a picture of the sauce I used:
Needless to say when he ate a hotdog form concessions, I had replaced the ketchup dispenser with this sauce. It ended up okay but he still hasn't come from the bathroom and I think I hear soft sobbing, so I think I might be seeing less ice-time in the next couple games. I love April Fools
Back in Switzerland, I played on a team that went on a late-season road trip. April Fool's Day was coming around, so we decided to pull a little prank on the rookies while we were in the hotel. While they were asleep, we took a plastic cover and loosely taped it to the door frame of their bedrooms around the edges, so that it wouldn't slip out but so that there was a space between the bag and the door. Next, we took a bunch of balloons, inflated them, and put them between the cover and the door. When the rookies got up in the morning and tried to go down to breakfast, they'd open their hotel room door and be greeted by a storm of balloons straight to the face and get tangled up in the cover. It's a ton of fun, and I've been told that at least a few of the rookies have used the same trick in later years.
Igor really, really hates his coach @SpartanGibbles. So as a result, he decided to pull the ultimate prank this season. After spending a few hours planning it, he went into Collin's office at 3 AM and hacked the computer so it displayed a fake ransomware message, informing him that the team's historical logs were "corrupted" and to pay 50000 Bitcoin to get the files uncorrupted. He also put sugar in Collin's energy drink, and claimed it was poison. He also relabeled everyone's lockers, so that no name was in the correct spot. Everyone would be wearing a different jersey. Igor also wrote an angry note to Gibbles, copying a teammate's handwriting to make it seem like it was their fault. When all was said and done, Igor left the office at 5 AM, knowing that there was no way that he'd find out it was him.

Nick Brain generally doesn't partake in too many April Fools jokes as the mastermind, but has been a supporting player or target in a few of them over the years. In his midget days, Nick's coach Bernard "Boom Boom" Barrister pulled a great April fools prank on his team by pretending to care about analytics-based hockey methods and ideas, giving his young team some unique, forward thinking training to help them become better players. Bernard was then like "HAHAHA APRIL FOOLS!" and had them resume the normal practise of one hour dump and chase, one hour of clutch and grab practise, and one hour in the finer points of goonery. Said practise was probably completely unrelated to Nick's relative lack of success as a player at first, because c'mon, old time hockey training never let anyone in the modern era down, right?
The best April Fools prank ever, though, was Nick's former SMJHL coach Tommy Salami pranking the team by impersonating a quality coach. This prank somehow extended beyond a single April Fools Day however, and quickly became a multi-season gag that was mercy killed by the hiring of the far superior Anatoli Terrorov to helm the benches for Colorado. Still, it was a good effort by Tommy, so good in fact that he re-used this gag later when he was hired by the Edmonton Blizzard.
(j/k love ya tommy in the unlikely event you're reading this )
Well since it looks like my buddy Mitchell van der Heijden(@bluesfan55) thought he was gonna be a funny guy this year, I guess ole Stan is just gonna have to show him how it's done. First off, a liberal application of deicer to the blades of his skates, so that they cut deeper into the ice and slowing him down. Next step, a good shellacking of vaseline to his stick, (Don't look at me like that you pervs. Get your minds out of the gutter.), to ensure minimal grip retention. Now of course for all this to be funny, we need the distraction. Nothing better than a bit of opaque tape across the eye shield on his helmet to cause blurry vision. Now that the stage is all set, its time for the real magic to happen behind the scenes. Unbeknownst to Mitchell, I sent a lovely gift basket of flowers, candies, and some very, very revealing lingerie to @JKortesi81's wife, along with a card signed by Mitchell professing his undying love for her.

I have an old time tradition of playing the same prank on new teammates. Having been recently called to to Texas fo my rookie season, I've been paired with a veteran for road trips. My pair veteran is Josef Kubinec. My prank is simple. It's an old classic prank. I have my girl friend make chocolate chip cookies but i switch the chocolate chips with Ecxlax. That's right the laxative that brings joy to all pranksters. Once the cookies have cooled off i pack them in a ziplock bag and make sure to make them look like a woman handled them. Then once we get to our hotel i pull out a bag and give it to my roomie. In this case Kubinec. now i know what your thinking, so what, its an old prank. But once you suran wrap the toilette seat, well, let's jut say i'll go pay for my own room tonight. Sorry Josef. @Leoben
Ruslan isn't a huge prankster. Any time he ever has its been a few classics like shaving cream or water in the gloves, smelling salts under the nose of unsuspecting rookies, or loose Gatorade bottle lids. Simple, generally harmless stuff. Like anyone he has been on the receiving end of some, but he all takes it in stride. After all, its all harmless fun to keep the spirits high in spite of the rides on the bus in the SMJHL. One thing you don't do is mess with Elizabeth Doyle's Irish Whiskey. During S52, then St. Louis Scarecrows Captain Aron Hernandvic and Ruslan Zaporozhets convinced a young British rookie to replace it with cheap American whiskey and to this day nobody has seen him since. While Aron slipped off, Zapo did the smart thing and bought the Irish lass off with quality Whiskey of course. As for the unnamed Brit? Whiteness Protection probably?
Henrik Lekberg Osterman has never been much of a prankster. He's usually the guy that gets pranked, being a little more gullible than most. However, that doesnt mean he is completely out of the loop. One of his all time favourite pranks that he pulled off as a kid back home in Sweden is the classic clear tape on the skate blade goof. This always gets a good laugh out of everyone and he's been waiting for the perfect opportunity to pull it off as he never had the chance to do it in Colorado and doesn't feel like its something a rookie should be pulling off in the big leagues. But things being as they are he has been planning something big for quite some time. He just needs to get some help from someone on the inside, maybe his old teammate Bo Kane... He'd like to somehow manage to put tape on more than one players skates without them noticing.. Only time will tell if it will work out or not!
