HOCKEY PROMPT

Since trick play is an American football term, I find it very difficult to find comparables in hockey.

Football is built around planning and preparing plays and most of the time taken in a game is with this purpose in mind, meanwhile hockey is almost entirely fluid with planned plays occurring occasionally and usually without any obvious signs that it was a set play. I'd say plays in hockey are more often than not just systems and frameworks on how play should go in a specific scenario, as opposed to what will be attempted at this particular snap.

Not to mention, deception is built into the game. As the prompt alluded to, dekes in general, or the goalie equivalents. Hell, even tic-tac-toe's, or passing off the endboards in a waived-icing scenario. Deception is so baked into the fabric of hockey and in such small plays that it's so hard to use the term "trick play" with regards to hockey.
