Toronto Maple Leafs man improvises after his stick breaks

When an ice hockey player breaks his stick, he usually looks for someone to blame and consequently beat up. Torotno Maple Leafs centre Dominic Moore, however, defied convention and continued in his quest to get the puck into the net using techniques he picked up from a far superior sport.

NHL rules prevent a player from scoring with his foot, which is why Moore passes to his teammate instead of going for glory himself.

Don’t you hate it when sand gets stuck to your suntan lotion?

Lucky Czechoslovakian NHL star Petr Nedved managed to persuade Victoria’s Secret supermodel Veronika Varekova to become his wife in 2004. Understandably, the ice hockey pro wanted to be near his wife in New York City, so in 2006 he requested a transfer to the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, this proved to be the kiss of death for their relationship, as they separated. Soon after, Nedved’s career started to peter out and he returned to his home country in 2007, supermodel-less and alone.

If you recognise Kelly, it’s probably because you’re a big fan of her work on Nip/Tuck - the US television hit about two cosmetic surgeons who just love having sex with people. She plays Kimber, a steamy young vixen, who uses her bod to make men go all giddy and freak out.

In real life, however, Kelly isn’t nearly quite so loose of morals, and is currently enjoying a monogamous love affair with the former NHL enforcer, Tie Domi. He’s a 38-year-old Canadian man who is apparently brilliant at Ice Hockey.
