Um, yeah, can I get a large McPuck meal with a side of McDoucheBag? Thanks.

For some God-forsaken reason the folks who run the show in the IHL thought it would be a good idea to dress up the Kalamazoo Wings as. . .wait for it. . .Ronald ****in’ McDonald! And you thought those Montreal Canadiens jerseys were bad. So why did they do it? Glad you asked.

They did it because they were “celebrating” Golden Ice Night, which was sponsored by McDonald’s.

Here’s a clip of the K-Wings scoring a goal on the night of golden ice (sounds like a Will Ferrell movie doesn’t it?), not because they displayed any particular amount of skill but because the opposing team was struck stupid with the giggles after seeing a hockey team actually competing dressed like Ronald McDonald.

And yes, that is golden ice. Snow cone anyone?

    You’re telling me that isn’t just bad lighting on white ice. It’s yellow ice??? I know the economy sucks, but honestly… this takes “clown suits” to a whole new level…

  2. Paul Benvin says:

    I kid you not man; yellow ice.

  3. Chris Shafer says:

    I think a college team should try something like Boise State’s football team. Imagine green ice at Michigan State!

  4. That’s both hilarious and terrible at the same time.
