Hockey Homicide
Hockey Homicide
1945
A crowd gathers at the skating rink to watch the big championship hockey game of the Pelicans versus the Aardvarks. Although referee "Clean Game" Kinney does his best to supervise, the hockey game really gets out of hand eventually. Two star players, Bertino and Ferguson, are so anxious, they never get let out of the penalty box, referee Kinney is never able to drop the puck without being physically hurt somehow, and the spectators themselves are so worked into the game, they take out their aggression on the ice while the players relax in the bleachers.

Likes ants swarming from a nest, the crowds flock into the arena just in time to see an ice hockey match between the loose-leafs and the pelicans - well that's what it eventually says on the score sheet. The teams are led by "Fearless Ferguson" ("Goofy") and "Icebox Bertoni" ("Goofy") and a heated rivalry is guaranteed! Under the arbitration of "Clean Game Kinney" ("Goofy") - the casting budget was obviously an issue here, off we go and pretty soon it's end to end stuff with the crowds having little idea who's doing what before the much anticipated carnage ensues on and off the ice! As ever, the game is carefully judged to come to an head with a few seconds left to go, and is accompanied by a pun-ridden commentary that tries to keep the punters vaguely informed of the chaos. Indeed, as things hot enough up there's even an opportunity for a "Spitfire" to shoot, too! Does anyone really care about the result - the teams sure don't. Good fun, this - loads of action and hats off to the breathless commentator, too! see more
