The Harlem Globetrotters have a new way to beat the Washington Generals - on ice.

The famed basketball barnstormers played on a hockey rink for the first time in their 84-year history today (NZ time), putting on a show in New York's Central Park ahead of a tour of the area.

Both teams wore ice cleats on their shoes but the Globetrotters' mascot appeared unable to find ones that fit his cartoonish sneakers, and wound up adding some unintentional slapstick to the routine.

The Globetrotters' Kris "Hi-Lite" Bruton put on an old-school goalie mask and used a hockey stick to bat down a shot. The Generals grimly stuck to their usual brand of basketball - and lost 32-15.
