Cale Makar and His Brother Having Good, Clean Fun with the Stanley Cup

The coverage of the Colorado Avalanche players' respective days with the Cup from the Keeper himself, Phil Pritchard, is one of the great traditions of hockey's offseason. In a time devoid of hockey content, it provides fans a glimpse into the personal lives of players, and it also documents all the bumps and bruises the Cup endures in a summer with hockey players.

During Cale Makar's time with the Cup, he brought it boating down Calgary's Bow River with fellow champion Logan O'Connor. Just adding insult to injury after Calgary lost in five games to the hated Edmonton Oilers, who the Avalanche swept just one round later. It is a well-known bit of information that Cale Makar is a good, earnest kid who hardly partakes in the riff-raff in which so many professional athletes partake. That is why, on his day with the Cup, Makar filled it with a Slurpee rather than boozing like a degenerate:


The odds that they didn't pour a handle of Grey Goose in there have to be like 10000/1. Just no way a 23-year old Stanley Cup champion and his 21-year old brother aren't getting absolutely loaded during their one day with the Cup. No chance.


Just some good, clean family fun being had in Calgary during Cale Makar's celebrations. You love to see it. Follow that up with this...


...and Cale Makar may take the title for most likable guy on planet Earth. I mean, the kid can do no wrong.
