Custard Court   (+10)  [vote for, against]
You *have* to keep moving

Recently I watched a repeat of Brainiac: Science Abuse, and I found out the interesting fact that you can walk on custard. If you stay in one spot, you sink.
Now, I think it would be hilarious fun to have a hockey court made entirely of custard. The rules are exactly the same as regular hockey.

The goalies will be on regular ground (only on a small strip infront of the goals), seeing as they can't move very far, and it would be difficult with all that gear on.

I think the custard on the court shouldn't be very deep, otherwise it'll take ages to get sunk players out.

Yes, throwing custard at other players gives the other team a penalty shot.

How would the puck/ball move about? Would it not be impeded by the custard?

Good point. I reckon if you made the puck/ball out of something with little friction, or cover it in something slippery (like, I dunno, butter), it would probably move around with ease.

Hmm not sure if that would work, unless the custard was hot in which case the butter woud prevent any kind of gloop-factor between the ball and custard.

The puck could vibrate.

I just like the idea of a bunch of big giant hard-ass hockey players running around on custard. I would definately buy season tickets even if it was just a game of who could stay up the longest. -sold [+]

Not only a brilliant idea, but a brilliant idea involving custard! Yay!
