The game of hockey goes beyond hitting the stick to a puck. It involves the connection between players and fans and the overall enjoyment of the game.
Sometimes, we wish to meet with our favorite hockey players and ask them the questions bugging our minds but lack the questions to ask.
Well, you don’t need to be stranded anymore as I present to you 20 funny questions to ask any hockey player.
Here are 20 amusing questions you can ask that hockey player you admire without breaking a sweat
1. What Hockey Dress design would you choose?
It takes a certain level of wit and finesse to ask about your favorite hockey players’ dress preference and doing it right sets them in the mood to hold a conversation with you.
Ask the questions suggested to get their point of view and fashion sense if you aim to start up a conversation with them
For example:
- You seem to be tugging at your outfit. What hockey outfit would you prefer?
- There is something distinct from this dress. I feel I should ask you, what hockey dress design would you choose?
2. Would you prefer to be a goalie or a player?
The end game to asking your favorite hockey player funny questions is to have them communicate details they may not want to if asked with a tone of seriousness.
If you wish to know whether your favorite hockey player will prefer being a goalie to being a player, then the question suggested in this point should be used. Remember to use a light tone and an air of joviality.
For example:
- I noticed lately, that you’ve been more active in the goalpost, would you prefer to be a goalie or a player?
- Has anyone asked you if you’d prefer to be a goalie or a player?
3. If hockey sticks could talk, what would your hockey stick say?
Not only is this question hilarious, but it also in a witty way suggests to your favorite hockey player the need to step up their play and use their stick right. So if you need to let them know about this, ask for suggestions.
For example:
- If your hockey stick could talk, what do you think it would say?
- It’s high time we ask you this question, bugging our minds, if your hockey stick could talk, what do you think it would say?
4. What’s the weirdest thing a fan has ever said to you?
If out of curiosity, you want to know about your favorite hockey players’ relationship with other fans, you could ask above.
Asking them the question could pick the interest of your favorite hockey player to why you’d like to know the details of their relationship with their fans and will be very willing to open up if done right.
For example:
- I’m just being curious as to what the weirdest thing a fan has said to you is.
- Your popularity has created a lot of buzzes, may I ask what the weirdest thing a fan has said to you is?
5. If you were a hockey puck, where would you want to be hit?
The question suggested here is another way to amuse your hockey player and does not necessarily represent an intent.
However, care should be taken when saying this, so the wrong message is not communicated.
For example:
- If you were a hockey puck, where would you want to be hit?
- Seeing you holding the puck got me thinking of asking where you’d like to be hit if you were it.
6. What’s the weirdest thing you have heard playing hockey?
If you believe in superstition and want to know if your favorite player believes in that too, then asking them about the weirdest thing they’ve heard on the pitch should be your go-to.
For example:
- Since you started playing, what’s the weirdest thing you’ve heard playing hockey?
- So tell me, what’s the weirdest thing you’ve heard playing hockey?
7. If it isn’t hockey, what other sport will you choose?
Just for fun, ask this question if you want to ascertain the level of passion your hockey player has for the game.
You could start the question with something unrelated and then connect it to your question to avoid suspicion from your favorite player
For example:

- I heard you’d choose something else than hockey if you had your way, what sport would it be?
8. What will you say is your happiest moment?
Ask this question if you want to get that memorable memory your hockey player cherishes without being disrespectful.

9. If you could have an animal as a team mascot, which would you choose?
Nothing much is required to make this question poignant. All you need to do is ask right away and watch for their response. Hopefully, you will get a suitable answer.

10. What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you on the ice?
If you want a hearty laugh or an open confession, asking this question will do just that.

11. If you could add a new rule to hockey?
Having the opinion of your favorite hockey player as regards some rules that need an addition or total removal can be a good way to start influencing the governing body’s decision.
So, ask them the question to get them what would it be irrespective and their thoughts on what needs to be changed about the game.

- Is there a particular victory dance you do whenever you score a goal?
13. If you could switch professions, which would you choose?
Out of curiosity, you can ask a hockey player what they would choose if they weren’t playing hockey to assess their preference.
Not only is the question a good one to ask, but it is also a good way to tell what the interest of a hockey player is geared towards.
For example:
- Aside from Hockey, what other profession would you say grabs your attention?
- What else would you do if you weren’t playing hockey?
14. Have you ever worn smelly gear to the pitch?
Be careful how you ask this question, because not said right could be an insult. This question intends to create a talking atmosphere while still making humor off one’s embarrassment.
To use this statement effectively, follow the question with a witty or personal experience to let the player know that you’re not trying to sound nasty.
For example:
- I have had to wear a smelly swimsuit one time to the pool. Have you ever had a similar experience?
- This may sound funny, so feel free not to answer, but have you ever worn a smelly hockey dress on the pitch?
15. Would you trade places with your favorite sportsperson?
Throw in this random question to open up room for communication and gain the perspective of your hockey player’s role model.
The question has no significant bearing on you exactly; it is just out of being inquisitive you desire to know if they will trade places with their favorite athlete.
For example:
- Would you trade places with your favorite athlete if given the opportunity?
- What if you could swap places with your favorite athlete? Would you do that?
16. What’s the silliest pre-game ritual you’ve seen someone do?
These funny hints about the spiritual side of a hockey player you admire, especially if they make funny rituals before or after a game.

- Other than an ice surface, which other pitch would you prefer?
18. If you could rename your hockey team, what would you call it?
This question is more of an aside and not aimed to get any relevant information that is of benefit to you. Hence, it’s a casual way to start a conversation.
