If you are anything like me, which you probably are considering you are reading this website on the last day of July, two things are true. First, you are missing Golden Knights hockey very badly and are anxiously counting the days until it returns. Second, because there’s nothing better on TV, you are locked into the Olympics every morning cheering on Team USA (or Canada if you are into that sort of thing).
So, let’s get a little weird and combine the two. Here’s who I think would be best in each Olympic event.
Badminton – Ben Hutton
Sneakily has some of the best hands on the team.
Beach Volleyball – Nic Roy
Height, quickness, hands. Love the prospects of Nic Roy putting on a show on the sand.
Boxing – Nic Hague
Pull up some of his fights, especially before he got to the NHL. Take him off the skates, put him in a real ring, and I bet he’d be even better.
BMX – Alexander Holtz
Every hockey player knows how to ride a bike, with excellent coaching from VGK superfan and former gold medalist Connor Fields, Holtz will dominate this just like Connor did.
Breaking – Tomas Hertl
Fun must be always and what’s more fun than competitive break dancing?
