Meet Hank!

 

 

Meet "Hockey Dad Hank," the ultimate rinkside warrior. Hank is a boisterous, larger-than-life character who lives and breathes hockey. He’s always the loudest cheerleader in the stands, decked out in team colors from head to toe. Hank’s enthusiasm knows no bounds; he’s the first to arrive at the rink and the last to leave. His car is plastered with bumper stickers proclaiming his undying support. A self-proclaimed hockey expert, Hank is convinced he knows the best strategies for his son and the team, often sharing his insights with the coaching staff. He has even presented new design proposals for the team’s uniforms on multiple occasions. Whether it’s giving pep talks or critiquing the refs, Hank’s passion for the game and his kid’s success is both hilarious and heartwarming. One memorable game, Hank lost his temper when a call went against his kid's team. He stormed down to the rinkside, gesticulating wildly and shouting at the referee, earning a warning from the officials but a cheer from the crowd for his undying passion. Hank himself played hockey in his younger days and firmly believes he would have made it to "the show" if it hadn't been for the incompetence of his team's coaches. His tales of near-stardom are legendary among the parents in the stands.
