There are a number of different things professional athletes do prior to games to get warmed up and one of the most popular activities among hockey players is playing soccer to get the blood flowing.
We all know soccer is a popular warmup activity, but did you know that in the CBA, it states that one soccer ball is a required piece of equipment that must be provided to the visiting team by the home team.
The fact that it's required for the home team to provide a soccer ball to the visiting team (among other things) is pretty crazy and we're sure the CBA is filled with a ton of interesting nuggets like this one.
