The Legend of the Octopus is a sports tradition during Detroit Red Wings home playoff games where an octopus is thrown onto the ice surface for good luck. The Joe Louis Arena is adorned with a giant octopus named Al after their ice manager Al Sobotka. The appropriate time to throw the octopus is after the national anthem is sung or after the Red Wings have scored a goal. It should never be aimed at the opposing players. The octopus is usually boiled to reduce its slime and odor and this facilitates the cleaning of the ice without any delay.
