Can a HOCKEY player score a goal with an opposing players stick?
Yes. There is a rule in the NHL where if you drop your stick, you can pick up any other stick on the ice provided it isn't broken. If that stick happens to be an opposing player's stick you can score a goal with it.
This has actually happened once or twice. One that I recall was where one player dropped his stick and then proceeded to rip one of his opponent's sticks out of his hand. Not getting a call from the ref for doing this, the opponent picked up the stick on the ice and then scored with it.

How do you lift a 1991 S10 pickup with hockey puckes?
First you would find the factory mounting spots. On trucks there are two in front under radiator support, two about under where the passengers feet would set on floor, two behind seet in both corners and four under the bed. You just need to unbolt the factory bolts all the way around but leave the bolts in. Next jack up one side of cab until there is enough room to get how ever many pucks you want to use in the spots the factory mounts are. The pucks must have a 1/2 inch hole drilled through the center so you can place a new longer bolt back in. Get bolts the same size as the factory plus how ever many inches you lift. Do the other side and the bed the same way. Before you jack the truck up you will need to cut out the bottom of the fan shroud and also find every thing that is connected to the frame and body and make sure it will stretch. Also watch the shift lincage and you will more and lickley need to modify it to stretch for the lift.

What is ice hockey power play?
A powerplay is often awarded when a penalty is given to the opposing team. When a player makes an illegal play, such as hooking or cross-checking, he is given a penalty. The offending player is then sent to the penalty box, usually two minutes for a minor penalty and five minutes for a major penalty. The team of the offending player is then shorthanded-they are only allowed to have four players (minus the goalie) on the ice. The time that the offending player spends in the penalty box is a powerplay for the other team.
