Professional hockey associations, long mournful of the unfortunately seasonal nature of their game, have decided to give the boys of summer a run for their money.
To effect the balmy transformation, the teams will transform their footwear from ice skates to roller skates.
The players are not entirely comfortable with the proposal.
One star expressed concern, saying, “I’m really good on ice skates, but I never even put on a pair of roller skates.”
To help accustom the players to the transition, the association has ruled that the wheels on the unaccustomed skates may be painted silver. They reason that with this clever alteration the players wil find it easier to convince themselves that they are, after all, on skates they can feel confident about skittering around a roller rink on.
