Ryan Shepard typically doesn’t participate in April Fools but he has an idea this year to trick his new team. Now that he's finally in the big leagues and starting to play for the team that drafted him, he thought it would be amusing to speak with management on April 1 and ask for a trade. This would be completely out of character for someone loyal and humble such as himself, so he’s not sure how well it would go over. If he’s asked to give a reason, it will be something generic like he doesn’t see a future in Chicago and anywhere is better. What management won’t know is Shepard is actually pulling a multilayered trick here. He’s hoping that Chicago acquires some great picks and prospects. Then once he plays a season and a half on his current contract he will come back to Chicago, tricking both the Syndicate management and the team he got traded to. Finally, he’ll let management know it was a two year long April Fools joke.
While not technically a teammate, with the league finally breaking tradition and having goal horns introduced, Michael Fox immediately thought of something that would be quite the prank, not only on a few friends but on the league itself.
April 1st. The Calgary Dragons and Edmonton Blizzard are playing a game in Edmonton. Fox's friends Joseph Weston and Alexei Rykov are finally settling into the SHL and Fox, with an off day, decided to head to Edmonton to see the matchup. What neither team knew, though, was Fox's childhood friend was actually the goal horn operator for the Blizzard. It didn't take much to get him in on the prank, and things were set in motion. There wasn't much action heading into the final minutes of the first period, but then it happened. Rykov hops out of the box, Weston flips the puck over the Edmonton defenders and onto Rykov's stick. Rykov is in all alone on Emiko Spector. All it takes is a little shimmy by Rykov and the five hole opens up. As soon as the puck crosses the goal line, it happens. Calgary's goal horn blares, Edmonton fans boo in a sea of confusion while Calgary fans can't decide whether to laugh or cheer. "It was a malfunction, I don't know how it happened" said the horn operator, saving his job while upholding the prank. The rest of the game continued as normal, but for 10 seconds in the late first period, Calgary was at home in Edmonton.

For April Fool’s day, Ethan Duncan decided he would prank all of his teammates instead of being the one pranked for a change. He arrived to practice a bit earlier than everyone else and filled every single player’s locker with packing peanuts and then shut them tight. He also took a ton of solo cups and carefully covered the floor with them spaced a tiny bit apart so whoever arrived first would think that this was the prank. He got all of his gear and piled it at the door outside the locker room and placed the cups one by one.
Just as he finished, he heard a noise and grabbed his gear and went to hide. First to arrive was Adam Scianna. Duncan heard him swear a bit before laughing. Eventually some more teammates arrived and could be heard picking up the cups and throwing them before they finally made their way to the lockers themselves. Duncan used the chance to leave his hiding spot and sneak in to watch the calamity. Rocco Berni opened his first and the packing peanuts came cascading down immediately. Simon Takshek saw this and tried desperately to keep the ones in his locker intact, but to no avail. Despite their efforts, the packing peanuts all came flooding out. But, they would have the last laugh as Duncan ended up being the one to clean up most of it.
so it's April fools during a world crisis, gotta love the irony of the situation. I mean who doesn't enjoy a good April Fool's joke? Boris already plays a lot of jokes on his wolf pack teammates, putting garlic in Mcshotty's water (maybe that is why he is playing well). Some other jokes include removing the skate blades on Hotdog's skates and putting crazy glue on teammates gloves so when they grab their stick they can not let go. but for April fools, Boris had to play the ultimate prank. On a desk inside the locker room where coach normally posts the lines, Boris faked a COVID 19 test saying that the coach had just been confirmed positive. When young gun Jakub was the first one to find it he freaked out and immediately started spraying the entire locker room with a water gun filled with hand sanitizer. Mission complete

Nicholas Owens isn't very big on April Fools since hes really bad at pulling off pranks but this year, decided to pull off one on the Buffalo Stampede's captain Monkey D. Luffy. There wasn't suppose to be practice on April Fools day because management knew a lot of us would probably just be trying our best to pull off pranks but being the dunce he is, Monkey D. Luffy somehow got tricked into going to practice anyway. We made sure to have some guys there to make it not too suspicious. The night before we had taped all his gear up so that he would have to untape all of it to be even able to practice. As such when Luffy got into the locker room to gear up, he was there for hours just trying to untape all the layers, effectively angering him to no end and wasting his day.

After Theo Morgan's dumb prank, Simon LeBlanc needed to do a prank on Theo in return. So, LeBlanc teamed up with the LA Panthers GM, Fredrik Wastlund. He convinced him to pretend to have Morgan on the block and make a fake trade. The Calgary Dragons forward and Team Canada defenseman Maxime Bouchard happened to be around LA, and he agreed to play along and pretend to have been traded. So, after the practice, the team went to the locker room. Wastlund entered and said : "Guys, I have an announcement. I've been looking to make this deal for a long time. We've acquired Bouchard from the Dragons. Sadly, we've had to give up someone for him. Theo Morgan, I'm sorry it had to happen this way and that we couldn't tell you before, but you're going to Calgary." Morgan was speechless. His face changed even more when he saw Bouchard enter the locker room. Wastlund then says : "You can't be peeing in the showers around here man". Morgan then realises what day it is. He says : "This is a joke isn't it?" Everyone in the locker room started laughing. LeBlanc said : "Think twice next time about pissing in the shower"
April fools, hmm. Well, honestly Ronlain has never been a real big prankster, but he has had his moments. I think it would be really funny to organize with all of his teammates, a practice where we let one of our teammates get on the ice first, and then everyone else just turns around and disappears into the dressing room or some other part of the building. Just let that one person skate around on the ice for a little bit by themselves and then show up like nothing ever happened. it'd be pretty funny I think if we did it to someone like ol' Ben Blue. I can imagine him getting started on his stretches in the crease and then looking up to see that everyone has completely disappeared from the rink. He'd be so confused and I think it would be really funny. Not only that, but it might be a great way to lighten up the mood considering how this season has gone for us so far.
Best April fools pranks probably come from newscasters and newspapers. The best pranks, though, come in good spirits while causing no harm for the receiver (except being shamefully tricked, that is).
But it's hard to do or describe an April fool when you don't like them or say it in a better way you doesn't give a shit about it. That's how Alexander Wachter thought about it. I mean he wouldn't be mad when someone really made a good April fool on him, indeed he would pretty much laugh his ass up but if it's just a bullshit prank he can get very angry on who ever did it. But he never ever would do one by himself. Pretty much because he doesn't have the fantasy to bring a good fool to reality and he lacks of outstanding ideas for a prank. Both are very important things to have a good and successful prank.

Hugh Jazz was in discord VC with the boys on Hamilton and everyone was in bed wanting to get disconnected and asked me, to disconnect them from the VC so they can go to bed without having to get up and go to their computers. So Instead of doing that for them, I just left the VC and waited like a minute to disconnect them to prank them so they thought I wasn't going to disconnect them from VC. But I did when they were probably on their computers. It was honestly a top tier prank in my opinion and honestly, I am very proud of this simple prank that I pulled on them a couple of days ago. Sometimes the simplest of pranks are the best ones as this was a little playful one that doesn't really hurt anyone or pisses off anyone. Its a just fuckin with people something that I like to do from time to time. I basically did it for this PT so I got something to write about so I can get my 3 capped TPE.
I'm not a very big practical joker but this year I have something in the chamber for the entire West Kendall team. I am pretty much a yeti and the boys in the locker room like to remind me of my all natural sweater pretty much every day. So, since the beginning of the season I have been sneaking into the locker room before the rest of the team arrives and dosing everyone's shampoo and soap with copious amounts of rogaine. By the time April Fools rolls around everyone should be starting to grow concerned about the new found all natural rug that is surrounding them. Phase two of the plan is to then stalk each of my team mates after games or practices with some industrial grade hair removal wax and give them some nice post modern art body hair designs. Hopefully nobody gets too bent out of shape about the whole thing.
For April fools Henrik Lundqvist Jr. showed up to practice very early and started hiding balloons in everyone's locker. He also put them in the coach's office right behind the door and under the desk. When people open their lockers the balloons explode in their face. It was a harmless prank but soon the entire lock room was filled with balloons on the ceiling. The coach got mad and demanded to know who had done it. Lundqvist Jr. admitted that he had done the prank and the coach forced him to skate extra laps and to clean up and get rid of all the balloons left over. It was funny to see the reactions and to see people get startled but not worth the work after. The coach did not think it was funny either and he may take it out on Lundqvist Jr. on the ice, maybe even giving him less shifts.
Disisde Dayudie came up with the perfect prank for fellow teammate Kenny Creller. Creller is a massive fan of the game "Werewolf", as can be seen in the official Arcade forum of the Simulation Hockey League. So Disisde arranged at game of werewolf on April 1st for the team. The kicker however being that Creller was the lone villager, while everyone else were werewolves. Because everyone knows that "Mook is always a werewolf". On night one Mook, who recieved the role of seer spied that Oliver Cleary was a werewolf. He waited to reveal it though. All the other players had their own discord to just troll the shit out of him, claiming fake roles etc. After 4 nights Creller had seered 4 wolves in a row and he decided to reveal his role to the other players, who just laughed at him and kept voting for other players to confuse the fuck out of him. In the end only the 4 werewolves he seered was left and we finished the game with him being eaten. When we were allowed to talk about the game and revealed our prank he finally called down.

Joseph Weston prepared to pull a fantastic prank on some of the older members of the Calgary Dragons SHL team, but things may have gone a bit awry within the planning stage. What had originally started out as a simple easy idea to replace names on lockers, grew to swapping bags around, to moving everything in the locker room six inches to the left. However, as the plans got more an more elaborate, things became more difficult to hide. Eventually the rest of the team began wondering why the front office was receiving extensive shipments for more and more ludicrous items. Such things included a thirty pound box of laxatives, eighteen cases of lubricant, twenty rolls of scotch tape, twenty six mugs with the letter "Q" on them, a tricorn hat, two pistol holsters with both on the left side, a PC monitor from 1998, one fake flintlock pistol with complimentary "BANG!" extending flag, and an XL Parmesan chicken dish from every catering company within 50 miles of Calgary. This would last until somebody caught on that this was in fact, the prank itself.
Connolly's april fools joke is a real doozy. He's playing like absolute dog shit to start the season just to trick all his teammates, coaches, and fans into getting really angry. It seems to be working and Connolly has been devising this plan for the better part of the off-season. Fans are calling him out on twitter and his coaches are threatening to bench him. Behind those tears, Connolly smirks a bit as he knows the grand reveal is coming. He's just bode his time long enough to really build up the anticipation for everyone. "Haha, april fools guys i got you so good." Connolly exclaims in the Chicago locker room. "What the fuck are you talking about Nick?" asks his coaches. He goes on to explain his amazing april fools day prank to the upset locker room. "You fucking plug. What, has your whole career been one big fucking prank, eh? You suck. Stop trying to make excuses." "Haha, you guys are just mad. i'll start playing for real now." he said through tears welling in his eyes.
