What do you call a bear that plays hockey?

A slap-shot grizzly!

Why This Joke Works

"Slap-shot grizzly" combines the hockey technique (a slap shot, where the stick slaps the ice before hitting the puck) with the species of bear famous for its powerful slapping paws. The grizzly's natural weaponry makes it the most technically appropriate animal for the slap shot position.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Say "slap-shot grizzly" with some growl energy — let the bear's natural authority come through.

Perfect for:

  • A hockey game in a mountain town near bear country
  • When a team has a bear as their mascot and someone asks what position it would play
  • Talking hockey with someone who's also into wildlife
