That's one way to do it!
Hockey itself is absolutely incredible, but as a sports fan, I'm forced to have a spot in my heart for high school hockey. And one of the states with the largest high school hockey culture is Minnesota. Minnesota treats sports as a whole like a religion.
The Boys High School Hockey Tournament from Gopher State is currently underway. There are headlines that pop left and right connected to the event, but there is one person I especially want to focus on and one who deserves glory. Wait until you see this incredible pre-match ritual. (Related: A wild push match breaks out between hockey parents in South Dakota Youth Game)
Let me introduce you to Orono Raiders Forward Brody Jenson. During the introduction before the state tournament match, Brody chose a very unique way to hype herself by slapping herself.

I don't think it's going to be a big hockey like me as I live in, but it's hard to not join the sport at this point if you live in a state of sunlight, in the way the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Florida Panthers have dominated over the past few years.
So, hell, look at what our governor did recently:
oh my god. Ron Desantis with microphone drop. 🔥
“3.3 million visitors from Canada. In my book, it's not a boycott. Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse into what the Stanley Cup-winning hockey team actually looked like.”

That being said, I'm sure there's nothing in Minnesota.
