While most NHL players are pulling out the sunscreen and sandals, Lane Hutson has something entirely different in mind.
It’s confirmed: the Canadiens’ star rookie will not be heading south for the Olympic break, to everyone’s surprise!
Yes, obviously, we’re saying this very sarcastically!
Unlike his teammate Ivan Demidov, who was spotted earlier at the airport heading to Florida.
Instead of lounging poolside, number 48 is going to consume even more hockey.
His journey begins with a nostalgic stop in Boston as early as Monday.
Hutson will be in the stands to attend the final of the prestigious Beanpot tournament.
Let’s be honest, for a former Boston University (BU) player, it’s a sacred appointment he didn’t want to miss.
It’s an opportunity for him to reconnect with his roots and soak in the intensity of the college rivalry.
After his stop in Massachusetts, he’ll head to Chicago to reunite with his family.
And guess what he plans to do in the Windy City in the middle of February?
An insatiable passion for outdoor hockey: Lane Hutson is truly one of a kind
Instead of resting his legs after a demanding first half of the season at the pro level, Hutson plans to go play outdoor hockey.
Yes, you read that right.
Let’s tell it like it is: we’re talking about a true hockey junkie, a pure and die-hard passion merchant who simply can’t disconnect from the sport.
It’s refreshing to see an athlete so deeply connected to the very essence of the game.
While others are trying to get as far away from the ice as possible, he’s looking for the nearest neighborhood rink to go have fun.
It’s exactly this kind of attitude that makes him a fan favorite in Montreal.
He doesn’t play hockey for the paycheck, he plays because he loves it more than anything in the world.
Safe to say Martin St-Louis won’t be worried about his conditioning when he returns.
Lane Hutson is unique, and his vacation reflects his game: dynamic and centered around the puck.
