The hockey superstitions were pretty good of the players but let me tell you,
coaches are just as weird. I coached hockey last year and I ALWAYS chewed
the same type of gum with the other coach (Super Bubble). I always carried a
good luck coin, and wore a yellow paisley tie my players nicknamed the "Sammy
Sperm" tie.
This season the old tricks don't work, BUT I did find a new one that works at
the high school level or lower (NCAA would draw too much attention). I have
a black cat at home named Hans and before a game I rubbed his fur and grabbed
a handful or loose fur and put it in an envelope and went to the rink. Before
the game started or many people got there I went to the visiting team's bench
and sprinkled the black cat fur all over their bench. It did the trick, we
lost to that team 9-2 our first meeting but beat them 5-0 that day with the
fur. Scientific fact ore hockey voodoo? You make the call! ;-)
My wife seems to feel that sneaking Hans into the rink on a harness and letting
him actually walk around on the oppositions bench would bring even worse luck
tothem.
USA all the way!
