Their owner made use of some backyard snow and built a custom goal for the pups to play with. Ernie and Max primarily play defense, working to protect the goal as their owner attempts to score. Well, Ernie mostly plays defense while Max just hangs out and gets in the way and sniffs things. Obviously these dogs deserve to win the Stanley Cup. ### See Adorable Puppies Shaking Their Fur  Annie - 7 weeks, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Carli Davidson  Annie - 7 weeks, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Carli Davidson  Koda - 20 weeks, Pomeranian Carli Davidson  Koda - 20 weeks, Pomeranian Carli Davidson  Hans - 12 weeks, Boxer Pit Mix Carli Davidson  Hans - 12 weeks, Boxer Pit Mix Carli Davidson  Cloud - 8 weeks, Shar Pei Carli Davidson  Cloud - 8 weeks, Shar Pei Carli Davidson  Josie - 12 weeks, Boxer Carli Davidson  Josie - 12 weeks, Boxer Carli Davidson  Meatball - 10 weeks, Pit Bull Carli Davidson  Meatball - 10 weeks, Pit Bull Carli Davidson  Vincent - 8 weeks, Dachshund Carli Davidson  Vincent - 8 weeks, Dachshund Carli Davidson Dachshund Dogs Play Ice Hockey: Video ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3745780/dachshunds-play-ice-hockey/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3745780/dachshunds-play-ice-hockey/"},"headline":"When Adorable Dachshunds Play a Game of Ice Hockey, Everyone Wins","datePublished":"2015-03-16T14:51:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:47:53.480Z","description":"These dogs totally deserve to win the Stanley Cup","url":"https://time.com/3745780/dachshunds-play-ice-hockey/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3745780/dachshunds-play-ice-hockey/","name":"When Adorable Dachshunds Play a Game of Ice Hockey, Everyone Wins"}}]}] ```
