I decided to do an April Fools day prank on my new rookie teammates from Europe, Jakob Hamr and Thomas Vanice. The are recent grads from the SMJHL and have played their first SHL games today, very exciting! I decided they are easy targets for pranks, being the new players and all, so before our morning skate I took some clear sock tape and put it on the bottom of their skate blades. You can't see the tape unless you look closely, but as soon as they stepped on the ice their blades couldn't dig into the ice and they fell! Hilarious!

Sadly they ended up hitting their heads in the falls and now I am suspended by the team for giving concussions to our new rookies. But I would like to think that everyone had a great time and found it very hilarious. Well if they were able to remember what happened, I guess. All in all, once the concussions clear up I think we can call it a successful prank.
