S64 PT #3: Trick Play
|
![]() IIHF Federation Head froggie Code: What do you pitch to your coach to push the boundaries of the sport, and get people excited on the highlight reel? Get as creative as you want. Do you need props? Weeks of setup? YEARS of setup? Is it a plan to win the whole game, or just to score one beautiful goal? No holds barred. (150+ words) Aksel goes home after hearing that his coach needs trick plays, and stays up all night crafting the Wet Fish. His teammates 1) think the name is stupid because all fish are wet and 2) immediately dare him to use it in a game. The Wet Fish is simple but effective: Fiske charges down center ice right behind his center, receives the puck via a slick little drop pass, and then drops to the ice, pushes himself back up in a worm-like motion and uses the momentum to shoot a nice hard wrist shot. He stays after every single practice that week, practicing, and bugging any forward (or defense, he's not picky) to practice with him with a meal as a bribe. Finally, on game night, Fiske busts out the big guns. Utah has the puck, Fiske is right behind. They charge down center ice. Fiske gets the drop past. His Wet Fish is clean. The puck goes top shelf. The goal horn bellows. The fans and media quickly dub the move "The Norwegian Worm." Aksel is devastated. |
