Quote:Written Task: What are some on-ice games or drills that your team likes to run for fun? (Don't just say scrimmage please) Does it have any practical applications to a game, or is it purely to blow off some steam? Where did the game come from? Who's the best on your team at it? Who's the worst? (150+ words)

One of the more intense practices Aurora had was after a terrible loss. They got blown out the night before and got pushed around all night at both ends of the rink. Coach wasn't too happy and put them through a bag skate and right in the middle just up and left without saying a word. Nobody really knew what to do, whether they should keep skating or pack it up and go home and everyone was just mulling about.

Now if you have ever met Mikko Rashford, you would know his love of frisbees. He carries one everywhere he goes, and I mean EVERYWHERE. Well of course, just as everyone was about to head off the ice, Rashford produces a frisbee from under his damn jersey and points at the net at the far side of the rink and exclaims "I bet you $100 I can throw this into the net from here!". Suddenly the entire team bursts out in laughter with several people raising their hands and voices to take that action. Suddenly a new sport was born.

Fr-ICE-bee (name is still under heavy debate). The game is played on an ice rink and you have to put the frisbee into the net. The trick is that the net is flipped face down so the hole is much smaller and it can be placed in different locations and you have to call your shot. If you can skip the frisbee, you get more points. So if you call a "3-skipper" you get 14 points compared to a "2-skipper" which is 3 and ⅛ points with a single skipper worth 1 and ⅜ points. You can also "bank" it in which is different from skipping as banking requires the usage of the boards or glass or other objects around the arena. The bank points are a multiplier and are added at the end of the flight depending on whether the frisbee enters the net or not.

I don't want to bore you with all of the rules but needless to say it is a fun but very litigious sport. We've had more than a few lawsuits resulting from the game. As far as who is the best? Hands down the creator, Rashford. The worst? Jarrow still can't throw a frisbee and is forced to attempt to roll it along the ice. No word on how many points that's worth as he hasn't gotten one in yet. It should also be noted that Marcel Beck holds the record for breaking the most frisbees at 4.
