How To Be A Hockey Player (Beer League).

By ·

This excellent video comes in from Hockey Community, and it plays off of the culture of beer league hockey as the title of this post suggests.

I sent out a tweet to Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski of “Marek vs Wyshynski” who constantly encourage people who like hockey to start a blog, podcast, or something, to do so. So I’m taking them up on these folk’s behalf. This is a great video, and it’s hard not to enjoy it as a fan.

Tweet the hell out of those four dudes. Get them some attention. This video is solid. Enjoy!
