The NHL All-Star weekend kicked off in Sunrise, Florida on Friday night with a variety of skills competitions. In an attempt to add different events each year, the league created a few events made just for the Florida location.
One such event was the “NHL Pitch and Puck” competition presented by Chipotle, where players participated in a hockey and golf hybrid event and played a hole of golf by using hockey sticks, hockey pucks and golf balls like in Happy Gilmore. Montreal Canadiens forward and captain Nick Suzuki, a self proclaimed avid golfer and 10-handicap, won the event with a birdie on the hole.
