Patrick Kane is at it again. You might recall that he recently covered up a St. Louis Blues logo on a fan’s shirt during a photo. This time he’s blocking a Team Canada shirt. If this is Kane’s new signature move, we’re all in favor. (H/T Reddit Hockey)

The Ice Bucket Challenge isn’t a contest, but if it was it’s safe to say Paul Bissonnette’s entry just won.

We’ve seen numerous NHL players participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge which is designed to raise awareness for ALS. Most of the videos are about what you’d expect – a guy dumping ice water on himself – but a few players raised the bar. Andrew Ference offered his own take and it involves a Zamboni. […]
