I think that celebrations in hockey have a lot of room for improvement. In general, there are only three or four celebrations in hockey. Over the years there has become many different celebrations for hockey goals, most are modest. You have got the classic high fives your teammates through the lines that is a classic. But I would not necessarily consider that a celebration but more of a ritual consistancy after each goal. I would say one of the most consistent and classic celebrations is the fist pump. you have two of them. You have the classic below the shoulder fist pump which is pretty consistent sometimes hockey players really spice it up and go to one knee or two knees depending on the situation. The other version of the first pump is the above the shoulder fist pump. That one is more like a mario grabing a coin or super hero breaking through some overhead debris. In addition to the fist pump there is probably one of the more new age and revolutionary celebrations, the use the hockey stick as a rifle and it is just as it sounds. You extend the hockey stick out handle away from the player, genereally aimed at the net and line it up against face/upper body area and make a movement with the stick that resembles a shot. That one The one that is the creme de la creme of celebrations is actually the board jump into the wall. Most amazing game deciding goals are that. It is probably because there is not much that you can focus on in celebration other than just ramming yourself into the wall going fast.
Those are the general celebrations and they are classic and dignified but they are also kind of lame. The creativity in hockey celebrations is lackluster with a lot of room for improvement. however I will not be the one to choreograph the celebrations. [300+ words] |
