This just flashed up on the screen between periods while they talked about an interview Brock did with the PuckAround podcast. *Supposedly* this is our immortal center’s grandpa (pictured at either the 1960 or 1964 Olympics). *Supposedly*.
So, let’s all be excited for Brock-o to go to his first (or is it his third??) Olympics in just a few weeks!

What a cool legacy
No DNA test needed
Awesome his uncle was part of the “Miracle On Ice” too.
That’s actually Brock Nelson.
Which one is which
I refuse to believe that these are two different players.
His uncle, grandpa and grandpa’s 2 brothers all played hockey in the Olympics.
That’s Brock Nelson²
“They’re the same picture.”
‘What, are my genes just a suggestion to you?’
-several generations of eggs to Nelson swimmers
That so cool !!! Huge Brock Nelson fan
Think about the hockey DNA his kids have. His entire family and Brock’s wife was a ms Minnesota hockey player.
Stop playing, we all know thats All Brock Nelson. Same person, different cameras
That old usa jersey with the different style for each of the letters is incredible
Definitely getting some “supernatural being living far longer than a human” vibes
“Brock Nelson Then and Now”
Stop lying thats just Brock Nelson when he played in 1918.
“Grandpa”
Or just Brock Nelson back then proving once and for all he’s a vampire or a highlander of some sort.
So he’s just a vampire?
Bill Christian and his son, David both won gold medals (1960 Squaw Valley, 1980 Lake Placid) and the Winter Olympics.
