Default Farewell to The Joe

This is a pretty cool video by the Zamboni driver who worked The Joe for 45 seasons. Explains how the octopus throwing started.

Octopus throwing? They just did rubber chickens when I was at the University of Denver. Octopuses, Beef & Other Items Hockey Fans Throw on the Ice | Mental Floss
