Human Hockey Puck

Brian Gotter

I had the honor of being the “Human Hockey Puck” at the Milwaukee Admirals hockey game this past Sunday afternoon. It was the MACC Fund game and I was honored to be asked to be a part of the day. During the 2nd intermission, I was shot across the ice on a saucer at light speed. A huge rubber band is connected on each side of the rink at center ice. Three guys then pull the rubber band to the end of the rink. I then step in with my saucer and they rest it on my back. I forgot to mention that before all this I had to sign my life away and then put on a helmet and hockey gloves.

So I crossed my legs on the saucer, said a prayer, and then they let the band go. It pushed me along the ice until center ice…by then I was laughing hysterically and screaming across the ice. I started to veer to the left of the target…inflatable bowling pins. We were told to get off the saucer to knock down as many pins as possible, or smash into the boards at warp speed. Ali and Tina watched patiently to see if they were moving to the Caribbean …my insurance policy does not have a clause in it prohibiting “Human Hockey Puck” activity. In order not embarrass myself and miss all the pins, I lunged at them as I slid on my stomach and knocked 7 down. I lost to AM 620 Gene Mueller, he has done it twice before, and had nice form and style as he slid on the ice knocking down all the pins with a little leg kick.

It was a blast and I would do it again in a second. I am trying to figure out a way to do this in my driveway.
