dangles
Hangs swinging freely
Dangles is plural of dangle—things that hang loosely and swing: The dangles on her bracelet clinked together.
In ice hockey, dangles are skillful stick-handling moves that fake out defenders: He pulled off some sick dangles before scoring.
The hockey sense celebrates flashy, deceptive puck control.
