Storyline

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.

User Reviews

Goofy scores!

This is a hilarious Goofy sports short focusing on one wild hockey game. It moves very quickly, animation fans will want to back up and watch several sequences again. The visual gags are among the best Disney has done. Doodles Weaver, famous from Spike Jones and his City Slickers, plays the role of the play by play announcer perfectly. Watch this along with the great Donald Duck hockey short "The Hockey Champ."
