I think there is a point when throwing stuff is not good for the flow of the game, I think maybe one Gopher during the series is ok, but if the game has to stop every face off because the ice looks like the city dump there may be and are grounds to call a penalty. There is a tradition of having gophers on the ice but, some of the stuff is unappropriate, wiskey bottles, snuce spit, cups with or without pop. I would rather have stuffed gopher on the ice instead of a live one, Central High School when they play Red River throw live white rats on the ice, because they refer the Riders as the River rats. I think we are making too much of a fuss about throwing stuff on the ice. Eric J.
