Hockey Homicide is a cartoon made by Walt Disney Productions in 1945.

Narrator Doodles Weaver explains the rules of ice hockey in satirical format. The narration's emphasis on good sportsmanship is countered by the violence of the players (all of them "played" by Goofy). Eventually, confusion over many extra hockey pucks leads the players and spectators to get into a massive brawl, during which snippets from other Disney cartoons (including Pinocchio, How to Play Football, How to Play Baseball, and Victory Through Air Power) are included to emphasize the mass confusion. Meanwhile, the Loose Leaf's and the Ant Eater's team members excitedly and intently watch the action from high in the stands whilst eating, drinking, and/or otherwise, consuming snacks.

In a running gag, two players, Ice Box Bertino and Fearless Ferguson keep going into the penalty box, and after going out of the penalty box, they physically beat up each other before being called back into the penalty box.
