Troll Hockey

June 20, 2011 by Jackie

I played a little troll hockey with Foxie this morning. It’s hard to say because it was a close game, but I’m pretty sure she won. 🙂

    brilliant ! i loved the nonchalant look at her fingers to give you a chance Jackie ! did she give the troll a hug ? it was as if she had just realised it was one of her precious trolls that was the puck ! nice she carried on regardless 🙂

        It was! Here’s a link to it: https://chimpsnw.org/2008/11/hockey/

    It’s amazing how quick and agile she is, even with the disadvantage of shooting in under the fencing. Yup, I think she beat you Jackie!
    Do the chimps ever toss or bounce balls around or is that just not very much fun?

      I haven’t really seen anyone toss or bounce a ball before, except maybe during a display and that’s just to be loud and impressive.

    What FUN!! I loved how she hugged the troll as if to tell it that it was ok……and your capture of Jamie at the end, yes, she clearly was not impressed that Foxie was getting so much attention. I can’t wait to see them this Thursday!

    Just a charming video! Troll hockey, you cannot beat such a fun game! Foxie (and you!) had a blast, thank you for posting!

    I just loved how she rubbed the booboo on her troll when it went flying inside. Gave love and hugs, then pushed her baby back out onto the field.

    Oh, what I wouldn’t give to play just 2 minutes of troll hockey with Foxie! I love her giving her baby affection during the game. Jamie’s expression is priceless…LOL!

    Hmmmm, was it affection? I wondered if she was rubbing the troll for good luck…kind of like shaking dice in a lucky way before rolling them. Perhaps she needed some extra troll-power to make sure Jackie was going doooooown!

    Oh who am I kidding? We all know it was affection. Mamma Foxie loves her troll babies.

    Great video, thanks guys!
