The Idaho Junior Steelheads of the Western States Hockey League are in some hot water after being banned from their rink for one week. Their crime: imitating the naked shootout made famous by the Tampa Bay Lightning last week.
From the AP story (via Raw Charge):
Doug Holloway, Boise’s recreation superintendent, says rink employees told him players would take something off every time they missed a shot.
An adult whose daughter was on another rink saw the 17- to 20-year-old Steelheads skating in their skivvies and complained to a city hotline.
Rink employees who noticed the scantily clad skaters urged them to cover up.
While the Lightning played a funny game that saw Martin St. Louis get down to his long shorts and undershirt, the young Steelheads took it a bit too far:
Internet videos show a Lightning right winger, Martin St. Louis(notes), stripping to his long, dark shorts and shirt; the Junior Steelheads apparently went further, with some disrobing down to their sports briefs. At least one 17-year-old player doffed his underwear completely, to "moon" another player.
