The article from MSN discusses an unusual pre-game ritual among NHL players known as "sewer ball." This game, which has roots in the childhood of many players, involves using a tennis ball and a sewer grate as a goal, with players attempting to score by bouncing the ball into the grate. It's not just a casual pastime; sewer ball has become a competitive and intense activity in locker rooms across the league, serving as both a warm-up and a way to build camaraderie. Players like Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews have spoken about how competitive it can get, with some even suggesting that the intensity of sewer ball matches can influence team dynamics and morale. The game is seen as a fun way to get the competitive juices flowing before the actual hockey game, with some players taking it as seriously as the sport itself.
