In this Disney cartoon, Donald takes his nephews to a game of hockey, but Donald says that they know nothing about the sport, touting his own champion self. Donald wins the first round with his nephews and then gets a little cocky and blindfolds himself while taking his nephews on a second game. However, the kids get a little to aggravated and hits Donald around like the hockey puck itself.I first saw this animated short as part of Disney home video collection called "Kids is Kids," which my mom used to rent for me when I was a little kid. Even has a kid, I didn't like this one much as I thought the characters didn't really get a long and were too mean-spirited toward each other. While, the humor might some little kids laugh a lot older kids or adults probably fine this one not-so-entertaining.Grade D

Donald Duck is out by himself, skating on his pond having a good time when his three little kids come racing out onto the surface, ready to play hockey. Donald is arrogant and tells the kids they know nothing about the game, they he will have to show them. He takes them on: one and against three, and kills them. He hams it up so bad it's embarrassing - the ultimate showoff. He rubs it in afterward, too. The kids are not happy. Donald then offers to play the kids again, this time blindfolded. That turns out to be a mistake as they beat him around like a hockey puck. This animated short is really for little kids, and no one else. The humor might make them laugh a lot but I doubt older kids and adults wound find much funny. I know I didn't.

I'm always partial to the Disney cartoons set in winter with the quaint Victorian looks to the countryside and enchanting atmosphere (such as 1935s 'On Ice'). It looks brilliant here in this cartoon and I'm pleased to say it's one of the more inventive and clever Donald Duck shorts.This time round the irritable duck is skating around on a frozen lake when his nephews appear for a game of hockey. He shows off to them his hockey trophy (kept in his jacket) and brags about how he's the best hockey player in the world. As you can guess already, he gets too big for his boots (err...webbed feet) and Huey, Duey and Louie play no end of tricks on him.If only he would keep his big mouth shut once in a while huh?

This Donald Duck short is wonderfully animated and very entertaining. The story is simple, Donald challenges his nephews to a game of ice hockey leading to all sorts of winter hi-jinks. The winter setting inspires many creative sight gags, and the Disney gang uses them to the extreme. Donald's opening figure skating scene is a great piece of animation.
