Every athlete goes through different pre-game routines.
From what they do during the day to how they warm up before the game, they all have different things they like to do ahead of games.
The Chicago Blackhawks returned home on Thursday night after a two-game road trip to play the Minnesota Wild and defenceman Duncan Keith showed off his juggling skills during the team’s pre-game warm up.
Keith isn't the only player who likes to work on his juggling act ahead of the game. Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk also likes to put his juggling skills on display during the warm ups.
From secret handshakes with their teammates to involving their kids, we’ve seen just about every pre-game ritual in the NHL.
As awesome and unique as some of the pre-game rituals are, nothing will ever top Ryan Hollweg’s pre-game performance of Tom Petty’s Free Fallin’.
(Performance starts at 6:40)
