It’s rare occurrence for a streaker in a hockey game. But, it happens.
Twitter erupted moments ago with reports of a streaker taking to the ice during the second intermission of the Calgary Flames-San Jose Sharks game in Calgary.
He wasn’t fully naked, according to Twitter reports.
Well, there's a half-naked guy on ice at the Dome during the intermission. Can't confirm if it was Danny Taylor from the cold-tub #Flames

Streaker alert. Poor buddy (in shorts, mind you) made it all the way to centre ice before the "ice patrol" snagged him. A good 30 second run

Now what: Guy stripped down to his boxers strutting across the Saddledome ice until security shows up to escort him off. #breathalyzertime

Updated with video (h/t Puck Daddy):
This isn’t the first time this has happened at a Flames game. One infamous incident occurred in October of 2002, when a fan - wearing only red socks - slipped on the ice and hit his head, knocking himself unconscious. He needed to be taken off the ice on a stretcher.
