Manute Bol has traded in his basketball sneakers and boxing trunks and now is in a shocking search for a pair of ice skates.

Seriously.

Manute Bol figures to stand out in the hockey crowd, just as he did in his flirtation with boxing.

The 7-foot-7 former NBA shot-blocker agreed to terms Tuesday to play with the Indianapolis Ice of the Central Hockey League.

Bol is expected to be in uniform for an appearance with the Ice on Saturday night, but it is unlikely he will play in the game against the Amarillo Gorillas.

"We're in the business of selling tickets, the business of entertainment,'' Ice general manager Larry Linde said. "We're not going to do anything to jeopardize the integrity of the game or Manute. We're out there to have fun.

"We're not going to throw him out there if he's going to kill himself or someone else.''

Linde hasn't yet spoken to Bol, 40, and admitted that the deal is mainly to generate interest in his team.
