The NHL’s YouTube account uploaded the video you see above this week and it features some players from around the league revealing which movies have the ability to make them shed a tear or two.
As you might expect, some of the big, tough hockey stars were reluctant to admit any such film exists, while others were more candid. The most surprising selection came from Kevin Bieksa, who picked Draft Day, which I’m still not entirely convinced is a real movie.
As a blogger with nothing to hide, my list is as follows:
3. Armageddon
2. Marley & Me
1. The Lion King
