Idaho Junior Skaters Banned For Strip Shootout

((HT: KBCI-TV/Boise))

An Idaho junior hockey team was banished temporarily from a city ice rink after players engaged in a game of "strip hockey" — shedding a piece of uniform every time a practice shot missed its mark.

The town of Boise forbid the Idaho Junior Steelheads team from using Idaho Ice World for four days; one 17-year-old player who shed his underwear briefly was suspended until next week.

Police are investigating.

An adult whose young daughter was on another, adjacent rink saw the 17- to 20-year-old Steelheads skating in their skivvies and complained to a city hotline.

Rink employees who also noticed the scantily clad skaters urged them to cover up.

Even so, police who were alerted on Thursday are now looking into whether Boise's public decency laws were broken by the incident.

Here's what the kids were trying to copy...
We would have used the word "emulate," but it was too technical...

Apparently, Boise law says that you can't show your ass in public. There are exemptions for certain situations, but hockey isn't one of them.

So far...
