J.J. Watt is no stranger to the rink, having played hockey at Pewaukee High School before becoming a pretty good football player. On Friday, Watt laced up the skates once more at his former school, the University of Wisconsin.
Watt made an appearance at the Blake Geoffrion Hockey Classic, which included current NHL players and former Wisconsin Badgers, to help raise money for the University of Wisconsin Health Burn Center. After his introduction, the Texans star took the puck from center ice and skated towards goal before unleashing a slap shot that found the back of the net.
Despite being listed at 6-foot-5 and close to 300 pounds, Watt still looks right at home in a pair of ice skates. In fact, Watt once posted a video of himself playing hockey as a bit of an audition for Patrick Kane just in case Team USA needed help during the last Olympics.
Maybe Watt will get a shot for the games in 2018.
