What position does a ghost play in hockey?
Ghoulie!
Why This Joke Works
"Ghoulie" mashes together "ghoul" (the spooky creature) and "goalie" (the hockey position) into one word that almost sounds like both. The joke earns extra credit for putting a ghost in the most stationary, guardian-like position — which does feel like something a ghost would gravitate toward.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Say "Ghoulie!" with a little spooky wobble in your voice, like a friendly haunting.
Perfect for:
- •At a Halloween hockey game or costume skate night
- •When watching a goalie who seems to materialize out of nowhere to stop a shot
- •At a kids' hockey camp in October when the holidays start creeping in
