Hi everyone, Just having a bit of fun on my Facebook page (facebook.com/crazykennyshockeyshop) asking for famous hockey quotes and sayings, Quotes like : Give blood. Play hockey. and Four out of five dentists surveyed recommended playing hockey. So I thought I'd ask the Question to Forum members. What's your favourite? I'm open to all suggestions, even the Steeler ones, provinding they're humerous and clean (ish)

Hey Guys
Like them all, some I've heard before, some I haven't - here's a few more :
A puck is a hard rubber disc that hockey players strike when they can't hit one another
Half the game is mental; the other half is being mental
Street hockey is great for kids. It's energetic, competitive and skilful. And best of all it keeps them off the street.
High sticking, tripping, slashing, spearing, charging, hooking, fighting, unsportsmanlike conduct, interference, roughing... everything else is just figure skating.

I've got a book called 'hockey shorts' somewhere. I will have a look through that at some point and put some of them on here.

Does sound just like a Cloughie quote! What's the book called mate? Sounds like it's worth hunting down.

A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be. - Wayne Gretzky
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. - Wayne Gretzky
You're looking for players whose name on the front of the sweater is more important than the one on the back. I look for these players to play hard, to play smart and to represent their country. - Herb Brooks
Craig Patrick: You're missing the best players. Herb Brooks: I'm not looking for the best players, Craig, I'm lookin' for the right ones.

They [the Soviets] complain about the ice, the practice time. They show up late, they don't like our gifts. They're always trying to play with our minds. But that won't work with our club. We've got 20 guys with no brains. - Bobby Clarke
You don't have to be crazy to be a goalie, but it helps! -Bernie Parent
1) Never go offside on a three on two or two on one. 2) Never go backwards in your own end except on a powerplay. 3) Never throw a puck out blindly from behind your opponent's net. If you throw a blind pass, just keep on skating...right out the arena. 4) Never pass diagonally across ice in your own end unless 100 percent certain. 5) Wings on wings in neutral zone—unless intercepting a pass. 6) Second man goes all the way in for a rebound. 7) Defense with puck at opponents' blueline—look at each teammate before shooting. 8) Wing in front of opponents' net must face puck and lean on stick. 9) Puck carrier over center with no room and no one to pass to must shoot puck in. 10) No forward must ever turn his back on the puck. 11) No player must be more than two zones away from puck. 12) Never be outnumbered in defensive zone. 13) On delayed penalty, puck carrier must look for extra man. 14) Be alert to time left on opponent's penalty. - Fred Shero
We know that hockey is where we live, where we can best meet and overcome pain and wrong and death. Life is just a place where we spend time between games. -Fred Shero
Arrive at the net with the puck and in ill humor. -Fred Shero
If you keep your opposition on their ass, they don't score goals. -Fred Shero
