Summary
Canadian hockey is rife with tales of the odd, the strange, the funny and, occasionally, the disturbing side of the game:

- The Cusimano brothers started the tradition of "octopus hurling" during the 1952 playoff games
- In 1930, Toronto Maple Leafs' general manager Conn Smythe placed a winning bet on a longshot horse to pay the cash-strapped Ottawa Senators for star player Frank "King" Clancy
- After a hard-fought win in the 1972 NHL playoffs, goaltender Bruce Gamble discovered after the fact that he had suffered a heart attack while minding the net
- After winning the Stanley Cup in 1924, the Montreal Canadiens left the precious trophy sitting in the snow by the side of the road!
- And many more...
