A US junior hockey team were banned from an ice rink after engaging in a game of 'strip hockey'.

Members of the Idaho Junior Steelheads all shed a piece of uniform in practice every time they missed a shot, resulting in them being banished from Idaho Ice World in Boise for four days.

Doug Holloway, Boise's recreation superintendent, said: "If they missed a shot, they had to take off a glove. If they missed another, they had to take off another glove. And so on, and so forth."

Police are now looking into whether Boise's public decency laws were broken by the incident.

Boise Police Department spokeswoman Lynn Hightower said: "The investigation is pending."
