Teach a man to throw a fish, or he'll struggle repeatedly trying to get it over the glass.

A University of New Hampshire hockey fan illustrated that Saturday while attempting to carry out a school tradition during a game against Boston University.

Wildcats fans at a local fraternity have being throwing fish on the ice after New Hampshire's first goal at home games since the 1970s, but this toss won't go down in history as one of the best.

The moral - just like in fishing - is that patience pays off.
