Superstitions?

[FlamesKickAss]

i know in the flames forum there was a thread with the same title but this is for people that actually play sports themselves.

I only really have one that i can think of. I play hockey and before the game starts and we are clearing the pucks from the net after warm-up i always have to take the last puck out of the net and flip it towards bench. If other people still have pucks I always wait for them to pass it towards where the people are picking up the pucks. I have done it for years and I don't even recall why I started to do it but now i just cant stop.

I used to always listen to the same song as i pulled into the parking lot of the arena if i was on a point streak or the team was on a winning streak. I dont really do this one anymore because I carpool with my buddy so it's tough.

Good topic. I'm the same way, just stupid stuff though. I'm always 2nd last in shaking hands after a game, no reason why, just am. I also put the left shin pad on, then right. Same with skates.

If I get on a streak I always try and do the same thing. Ex. Were in playoffs right now. So before every game I put on the lucky HNA green shirt, sweat pants, go pick up a Beaver Buzz at 7-11, and then slam it back on the way to the rink. 5-0 so far since I started and in the finals!!!

I always try and listen to some AC/DC before the game as well, car pooling or not.

When I use to Rodeo, I would never put a hat on a bed. You allways heard stories about guys getting horribly injured who put a hat on a bed. Maybe it is just an old wives tale.

Even though it is only supposed to be Cowboy hats on beds. I won't even put a baseball cap on a bed now. And if somebody else did it. I would pick the hat up and put it somewhere else. Even though I don't consider myself superstitious.

I play on the Roughnecks, Div 5.5 (stupid realignment). We play the Night Train on Thursday, beat them 7-3 on Sat. night. I think we'll get moved up for sure next year. Lost 2 weaker players 1 week before playoffs.

Superstitions are a funny thing as well. I am not at all religious, but unconsciousley feel like I have to do these things to win.
