For hockey fans who are tired of drinking beer out of a boring old cup, the NHL is continuing to innovate. Throughout the season, multiple teams have found viral ways to shake up the time-honored stadium tradition.The latest to hit stadium bars is the Beer Skate, which the Carolina Hurricanes debuted this weekend. At the Hurricanes Game 1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, fans had a chance to purchase a Beer Skate a novelty plastic shoe-shaped cup for beer.Beer Skates were sold for $19 empty, or for $12 plus the cost of the beer that youre buying, per multiple reports. The skates come complete with a handle (for easy chugging) and a clear skate (to get a proper look at your beverage of choice).BEER SKATES ARE HERE Get yours at any bar, select stands, and carts TONIGHT at the @LenovoCenter. pic.twitter.com/DbKTdpb1p9 Carolina Hurricanes (@Canes) May 2, 2026On Sunday, Carolina announced that 4,687 Beer Skates were sold in Lenovo Arena on Saturday. That is one-quarter of the full attendance, which was announced as 18,620 fans.Adam Hoffman, the Hurricanes vice president of food and beverage, told The Athletic that the team had already sold 2,000 of the skates within 45 minutes of the gates opening. Staff had brought 1,000 extra skates from the warehouse after their promotional post went viral, per WRAL; the remaining 2,000 skates were brought over in a rush during Saturdays game after it was clear that the novelty was a hit.As a result of the months they took to produce, Hoffman told ESPN on Monday that the skates will not be available for the rest of the postseason, but didnt rule out bringing them back in the future.I don't want to say we weren't prepared for them to buy as many as they did, but obviously we didn't think it was going to blow up exactly the way that it did, which is just so awesome, Hoffman said.Can confirm Beer Skates were a hit pic.twitter.com/DkPdyygWbn Carolina Hurricanes (@Canes) May 3, 2026The rush for Beer Skates is just the latest proof that hockey fans love to drink their beer out of novelty items. In November, the Buffalo Sabres debuted the Beer Sabre, a plastic sword filled with Labatt. The sabres, which were only available on Friday and Saturday home games, were so popular that they sold out after three games. (Buffalo then brought the sabres back for one home game in April.)The beer sabre is here and it's BEAUTIFUL! Get yours at all Friday and Saturday home games while supplies last. #LetsGoBuffalo | @LabattUSApic.twitter.com/o7ZzQM0Bav Buffalo Sabres (@BuffaloSabres) November 22, 2025The Utah Mammoth also hopped onto the trend, releasing a $26 Tusk Mug in April that can be filled with any beverage of choice.The Tusk Mug in all its glory (dont worry, its just Coca Cola).#TusksUppic.twitter.com/bZcOu9cXP1 Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) April 8, 2026The Tusk Mug hasnt quite reached the level of notoriety as the Beer Sabre and Beer Skate, which have both become unexpected collectors items. On ebay, Beer Skates are being sold for upwards of $200; Beer Sabres, meanwhile, are going for $250 or as high as $350. (The less-popular mugs are still available on ebay, but for the much more reasonable price of $35.)After taking a 1-0 lead against the Flyers, Carolina hosts Philadelphia again on Monday for what is likely to be another raucous playoff matchup with or without the skates.

Manchester United have reached a surprising agreement with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to rest star forward Matheus Cunha for the remainder of the Premier League season. The move comes as a major boost for Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti, who has been sweating over the fitness of several key players ahead of the World Cup. Champions League qualification allows rotation The decision to sideline the Brazilian international follows United's triumph in the against fierce rivals Liverpool on Sunday. Cunha was instrumental in the victory over Liverpool, scoring a vital goal to help secure a win that mathematically guaranteed the Red Devils a place in next seasons Champions League. With their primary objective for the domestic campaign now fulfilled, the club hierarchy feels they are in a position to assist the Brazilian national team. The agreement will see the number 10 sit out the final three matches of the season to focus entirely on his physical recovery, ESPN reports. Managing adductor concerns Cunha has been struggling with adductor problems in recent weeks. Although he has continued to feature for Michael Carrick's side, even playing through the pain barrier against Liverpool, there are lingering concerns about the long-term risk of a more serious tear if he is not managed correctly. By removing him from the high-intensity environment of the Premier League run-in, United and the CBF hope to ensure he arrives at the World Cup at 100 percent fitness. The tournament is set to kick off in just over a month, leaving little room for error in his rehabilitation process. Ancelotti handed major boost The news will be music to the ears of Carlo Ancelotti. The Brazil boss has been dealing with an escalating injury crisis within his squad, and losing a starter like Cunha would have been a significant blow to the Seleos hopes of lifting the trophy. While the forward is technically available to play, the consensus between club and country is that prevention is better than cure. This proactive approach marks a rare instance of a major European club prioritizing international commitments over the final games of a league season. Missing the season finale As a result of this agreement, Cunha will be absent from the matchday squads for the upcoming fixtures against Sunderland, Nottingham Forest and Brighton. These games were set to be his final appearances before joining up with the national team camp, but he will now begin an individual training program instead. United fans will likely support the move given the player's importance to the side and the fact that their league position is already secure. All eyes will now turn to the medical staff to ensure the star man is ready for the biggest stage in world football.

NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians may have found their most destructive opening combination since the glory days of the franchise. On a run-fest at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton scripted yet another record partnership to put Mumbai in complete control against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026.Chasing a daunting 229 after LSGs batting fireworks, the MI openers responded with an even more brutal counterattack. Rickelton blasted 83 off just 32 balls, smashing six fours and eight sixes, while Rohit produced a vintage innings of 84 off 44 deliveries.Together, the pair added 143 runs in only 10.5 overs, tearing apart an LSG bowling attack that had no answers to the relentless assault.In a match that Mumbai Indians went on to win by six wickets, the stand was significant beyond just the match situation. It became the third 100-plus partnership for Rohit and Rickelton now the most by any Mumbai Indians pair in IPL history.Most 100+ partnerships for MI in IPL (any wicket)3 Rohit Sharma & Ryan Rickelton2 Rohit Sharma & Ishan Kishan2 Parthiv Patel & Lendl Simmons2 Ambati Rayudu & Sachin TendulkarThe record highlights how quickly the Rohit-Rickelton partnership has evolved into one of the most dangerous combinations in the tournament. While Rohit anchored the innings with controlled aggression, Rickeltons fearless ball-striking gave MI immediate momentum in the chase.Earlier, LSG had looked set for an even bigger total after Nicholas Pooran smashed 63 off 21 balls and shared a 94-run partnership with Mitchell Marsh. But MI clawed back in the death overs, conceding only 22 runs in the final three overs to restrict LSG to 228/5.That late recovery ultimately proved crucial as Rohit and Rickelton transformed a difficult chase into a statement performance and, in the process, entered Mumbai Indians folklore.
