This is Winnipeg Jets prospect Ryan Olsen. He plays Center for the St. John’s IceCaps of the AHL, got in a fight, AND took a puck to the face during the game vs. the Portland Pirates on Friday night.
We all know that Hockey is a physically-demanding sport, but, good god almighty — saying that this dude looks like he “got hit by a truck” is an understatement.
PSA: If you’re going to play hockey for a living, be prepared to sacrifice your potential career as a model.
