TOP TEN WAYS TO MAKE HOCKEY MORE EXCITING: 10) During
playoffs, players dress as their favorite Ice Capades Character;
9) Canadians must play in bare feet; 8) All penalty minutes must
be served sitting next to that guy who played "Doc" on "The Love
Boat"; 7) Just barely visible under the ice: frozen body of Walt
Disney; 6) Replace Zamboni with white Ford Bronco; 5) "Your New
Jersey Devils Starting Goalie -- Miss Katherine Hepburn"; 4) New
snack bar item: players' missing teeth dipped in fudge; 3) Every
team roster must include one lesser known cast member from "The
Love Boat," like that guy who played "Doc"; 2) Only guys named
Stanley get to where a cup; 1) Let Michael Jordan take a crack at
it ("Late Show," CBS, 6/26).
