Ice hockey's a fine sport and everything, but you know what would make it even more entertaining? A dash of the desperate, brutal atmosphere of the penitentiary. I mean, the sport's all about penned-up psychopaths with bad teeth who will drop you in a second for disrespecting their gang. Why not run with that?
Uni Watch reports that the Las Vegas Wranglers of the East Coast Hockey League did just that with their recent "Prison Jersey Night". The home team in prison stripes, the visitors in orange jumpsuits, the refs in guard uniforms, metal bars on the penalty box - sadly, shivs were not permitted on the ice. Maybe next year.
Of course, one urgent question remains: what body of water is Las Vegas on the East Coast of?
