A checklist for NHL officials as they prepare for the outdoor hockey game Jan. 25 between the Kings and Ducks at Dodger Stadium.

--Make it clear that Stanley Cup is not something players wear.

--Watch for Kirk Gibson toting a ice saw and blow torch for a revenge polar bear swim.

--Prevent Yasiel Puig from using the ice for speed skate workout.

--Keep Sandy Koufax out (it’s hockey; no-hitter not welcome).

--Check sticks for illegal curves ... and cork.

--Offer Major League Baseball quid pro quo to put A-Rod in penalty box.

--Hire Puig’s cousin to drive Zamboni.

--Pay Frank McCourt to park Zamboni.

--Explain difference between power “alley” and power “play” to Vin Scully. See if he cares.

--Get players Dodger and Giant jerseys for fights.
