* RealityHasNoSoundtrack: Paul J. Smith is credited for writing the music for this short, but the only music heard is an electric organ waltz when the ice polisher cleans the ice during the rest period. Otherwise, the background noise of cheers and jeers from the audience accompanies the short.

''Hockey Homicide'' is a 1945 WesternAnimation/{{Classic Disney Short|s}} directed by Jack Kinney, starring WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} and narrated by Music/SpikeJones stalwart Doodles Weaver. While it isn't formally part of the "How To" miniseries of Goofy cartoons, it (along with its sibling cartoons ''Double Dribble'' and ''Tennis Racquet'') are often lumped in with them due to their similar focus on sports-themed SlapstickComedy.

* VisualPun: A lot of the comedy is derived from the players repeatedly clubbing each other with their sticks - a literal case of {{Slapstick}}, if you will.

''Hockey Homicide'' is a 1945 [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Walt Disney cartoon]] starring WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}. Narrated by Music/SpikeJones stalwart Doodles Weaver.

The short features two teams, the Moose and the Pelicans (or is it the Loose Leafs and the Anteaters?) playing a game of hockey that grows increasingly violent.

This short is (in)famous for its utterly bizarre climax and is often regarded as one of the funniest Disney cartoons ever.

Added DiffLines:

* TrouserSpace: Clean Game Kinney keeps his pucks in his right pant pocket. It's implausible enough at the start, where he's shown with about a dozen...and then a goalie accidentally hits him near the end, whereupon ''thousands'' of pucks erupt from his trousers.

* OffModel: Downplayed. At one point a Loose Leaf player (identified by his green shirt) hits the puck into the net of the Loose Leaf goalie, suggesting that one of these two characters was supposed to be animated with the other team's colour.

* GretzkyHasTheBall: Done intentionally to show how much the game has descended into chaos. This was also a trademark of Weaver's, most famously used in Spike Jones' interpretation of Rossini's "William Tell Overture", which starts out as a commentary on a horse race, but for some reason, ends up describing a prize fight, a baseball game, and even ''bowling''.

* AbortedArc: PlayedForLaughs. The narrator points out the heated rivalry between the team's respective star players, Bertino and Ferguson, setting up the game as their final showdown. There never is a final showdown, as their violent bickering keeps getting them sent into the penalty box, preventing them from even taking part in the game.
