Family, friends, gratitude, football, and of course, food. Just some of the themes of U.S. Thanksgiving.
With what is often a hectic schedule, many NHL'ers are unable to physically be with their families to celebrate the holidays. The silver lining, however, is that the bonds among teammates run strong, creating a sort of hockey family, especially noticeable around the holidays.
Social media is a great way to connect with friends and family, and players from around the NHL took to Instagram and Twitter to share the holiday with their fans too. From team get-togethers to sweet family moments, here are the highlights that remind us to appreciate the important things in life.
I am thankful for family and friends that I love; and that I get to work on the ice. Hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving!
