Hershey Bears Have Epic Shootout During Practice

When I went to Bears practice, I was just planning on watching and getting a few quotes for a story we’ll be publishing Thursday. What ended up happening was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen at a Bears practice.

At the end of the day’s skate, Troy Mann split the team into two squads: Black and White jerseys. Each team member took one shot on goal, trying to win bragging rights (and the chance to miss out on the forever popular suicide skate), for their team. At the end of each player shooting, the score was tied 3-3, meaning they head to overtime.

For overtime, the opposite team would pick the shooter for their opponent. After nobody scored for a couple of rounds, Zach Sill was picked by the Black jerseys to go for Team White. What happened next was spectacular.

Sill would score on Joe Cannata, and would do his best Travis Boyd impression. Unfortunately for Team White, they went first meaning they need to pick a member of Team Black to go, and they picked Mr. Chris Bourque.

He would score to tie the game right back up. Now we skip ahead a few rounds to Aaron Ness shooting for the Black side.

That goal would force the White team to score on this round, and allowed the Black side to pick assistant coach Reid Cashman.

The goal caused the White team to erupt, and made the bench just place their hands on their head in disbelief. Now we skip ahead a few more rounds to Brad Malone who scores on Vitek Vanecek.

Or does he? Vitek waves the goal off, showing he actually stopped the puck short of the goal line! That sets up Stan Galiev to give Team Black the win…

And he does!! Team Black wins the Calder Cup the right not to skate suicides today!!


lol losers.
