The locker room is the soul of every hockey team. It’s where players laugh, chirp, prep for battle—and pull off some of the best pranks in sports. Locker room pranks aren’t just funny; they’re part of hockey’s DNA, keeping the mood light and the team tight.
Here’s our list of the top 6 hockey locker room pranks, ranked by laughs, legacy, and pure locker room energy.
1. The Shaving Cream Helmet Trick
It starts like this: a teammate steps away from their stall, and someone seizes the moment. Their helmet is filled with shaving cream, carefully placed back on the shelf like nothing happened. The next time they toss it on—splat!
Why it lands: Quick setup, instant comedy.
Team rating: A rite of passage for rookies.
2. The Gear Tape Job
A timeless prank. Teammates wrap everything in sight—gloves, skates, even undergear—in rolls of hockey tape. Sometimes the gear ends up taped to the ceiling. Other times, it’s just sealed up so tight it takes 15 minutes to open a single skate.
Why it lands: Labor-intensive, but the payoff is huge.
Team rating: A veteran favorite for team bonding laughs.
3. Surprise Stick Makeover
Players are picky about their twigs, especially when it’s a custom All Black Hockey Stick with their exact curve and flex. So when their trusted stick is swapped for a glitter-covered junior twig, panic sets in—until the prank is revealed.
Why it lands: Hits where it hurts, but leaves the real stick untouched.
Team rating: High-level trolling for stick purists.
4. Phone Sabotage
Today’s locker room is as digital as it is physical. Leave your phone lying around and it’s fair game. Expect a wallpaper swap to an awkward selfie, or a series of “confession” texts sent to your crush—all under your name.
Why it lands: Quick, modern, and wildly embarrassing.
Team rating: The go-to gag for every tech-savvy teammate.
5. Soaped-Up Skate Blades
A few drops of dish soap or clear wax on a skate blade is all it takes. One step onto the ice and the player’s edges are gone—they’re sliding, flailing, and totally confused. It’s all laughs… until someone hits the boards.
Why it lands: Slapstick at its finest.
Team rating: A risky classic—use responsibly.
6. The Stinky Sock Attack
Nothing clears out a room faster than a post-practice sock. Stuff it in a gear bag, tuck it in a glove, or hide it in a roommate’s pillow on a road trip. The reaction is half-disgust, half-awe that anyone could survive the smell.
Why it lands: Absolutely revolting—and unforgettable.
Team rating: Hall of fame level prank.
