HOCKEY, DUCT TAPE, AND LIFE ADVICE: THE RED GREEN WAY

What began as literal coaching advice — “Keep your stick on the ice” — quickly evolved from a hockey tip into a national metaphor for staying prepared for whatever life (or a rogue puck) throws your way.

From the early ’90s slapstick of Adventures with Bill to the 2002 feature film Duct Tape Forever, the rink served as the show’s cultural heartbeat. Over the years, Handyman Corner treated hockey gear as just another raw material for Red’s eccentric genius. Whether he was “upgrading” a goalie mask with a kitchen colander or repurposing old skates for a high-speed lawnmower, hockey was always the glue holding it all together.

Today, fans can relive these glorious engineering disasters on the official RedGreenTV YouTube channel, where curated highlights and full-length episodes capture the Lodge’s most ambitious — and inevitably bruised — trips to the rink.
