* DeconstructiveParody: Of sports movies like ''Film/TheMightyDucks'', playing up almost every possible cliche there is to the genre but turning the team members into a bunch of inept kindergarteners. It ends extremely cruel by ramping up the violence often associated with hockey and having the ''other'' team have the triumphant victory.

Another ymmv detected.


* ExcusePlot: Lampshaded in the beginning. Stan points out if they give him his bike back he can pay off the debt, but he is then told he wouldn't learn anything then. Stan points out there is nothing he needs to learn
* FanonDiscontinuity: It's safe to say that some fans just prefer to ignore this episode existed, mostly because of how the ending was taken too far in terms of cruelty.

One trivia trope, one ymmv. Also, Dude Not Funny only applies to in-universe character reacting to something.


* CreatorBacklash: The creators admitted to not liking this episode. Ironically they loved the ending and hated the rest. As with fans, it's other way around.



* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: The episode just feels like everyone was just going through the motions, as it comes off as very depressed. First, Stan doesn't want to coach the Pee-Wee Hockey team, but gets roped into it, then we find out one of the kids has cancer, who dies at the end, the kid team gets roped into taking on another, then when the other team doesn't show up, the kids, in probably the most forced moment in the show's history, the kids play an adult team and promptly get the shit beaten out of them in the process. With all of the depressing turns this episode takes, is it any wonder that fans hate it?
