No better way to start a mini sticks tourney than having the Bruins’ anthem singer spread patriotism all throughout that basement. Stick taps for the #2 anthem singer in the NHL:

I think I missed the boat on Mini Sticks, or maybe we just called it Knee Hockey. I was a big Knee Hockey guy growing up. Remember the insane amount of torque you could get on a wrist shot? If your buddy got in front of one of those it could take an eye out. Not to mention I was a shithead kid. Hated losing. A Brad Marchand type. If one of my buddies got up like 6 to 2 early I wasn’t afraid to slash the wrist. Let ’em know I play for keeps. If I played on Kevin Hayes setup here someone was going through the boards. I’m not proud of it, but I’m not out here getting rug burn for nothing.

P.S. Did you know the Bruins anthem singer also bartends during games? He belts out the anthem and then slings Jack & Cokes for three periods. Could you imagine Lauren Hart finishing a perfect “Home of the brave” and then went to see if you need any more chicken fingers in your suite? –

No better way. Look at this set-up! I missed the boat on mini sticks, but Knee Hockey was the shit back in the day.
