Tonya Harding Signed to Hockey Contract

:eyes: I'll be the first one to argue that women can and should play hockey, but ... well, this is just plain stupid, IMO. Last year the Ice signed Manute Bol who sat on the bench for a weekend, then disappeared.

And it's a sad statement that the Ice have to sign a GIRL to be their tough guy, no ??

ICE SIGN TONYA HARDING

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Ice announced today that it has reached an agreement with former figure skating champion, Tonya Harding. Harding will join the Indianapolis Ice as the team takes on the Colorado Eagles this Friday (March 12th) at 7:00 p.m. from the Pepsi Coliseum.

Harding, 33, burst onto the public scene in 1994 when members of her inner circle were implicated in the attack on rival figure skater Nancy Kerrigan at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Known as a fiery competitor this will not be Harding’s first “fight”. She pummeled Paula Jones in the Fox TV special Celebrity Boxing. She was also sentenced to three days in jail in 2000 after being accused of punching and throwing a hubcap at her boyfriend.

“We learned last season (with Manute Bol) that it’s easier to teach someone to fight than it is to skate”, said Ice General Manager Larry Linde. “As far as I’m concerned Tonya represents the best of both worlds, she’s already a world class skater and a professional boxer to boot”. “Some people have questioned our toughness this season and I intend to put an end to that this Friday. She certainly gives new meaning to the term “Are You Tough Enough?”
