* FillerStrips: He tends to do a lot of non-story comics. He also gained much attention by making a [[http://www.pvponline.com/2009/12/30/guest-strip-by-tyson-heese/ guest strip]] for {{PvP}}.

* [=ManChild=]: Rittz, an adult MouthyKid, and given the unrestrained violence of the sport he regularly engages in, he qualifies for [=PsychopathicManchild=] as well.

* ManlyGay: Ace, who was said to be the best goalie the team had ever had, and was a childhood friend of Rittz and Skip, whom Rittz mentions once tried to kiss him while he was asleep, and loved dancing to Gloria Estefan.

* OralFixationFixation: Skip often has a toothpick in his mouth.

* AllAsiansAreAlike: "[[http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/?id=14 Rittz, you and me take the dark haired one.]]

* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: '''Averted hard.'''

* FreudianExcuse: All over the place in Rittz & Skip's backstory. Rittz was the fat kid growing up and Skip was the troubled, "criminal in waiting" kid who bonded because they had no other friends. Things like why Skip doesn't smoke or why breaking his glasses was a BerserkButton all tie back into their backstory.
