When it comes to pregame traditions in hockey, there are none more popular than soccer.

Whether it be regular keep-ups or sewer ball, some kind of soccer related pregame warm-up is happening in almost all professional hockey rinks before a game.

Players for the Vegas Golden Knights, hockey's newest team, will undoubtedly participate in the longstanding soccer tradition, and on Friday they got a head start on that in a hilarious way.

Reid Duke, the lone member of the Golden Knights right now, clearly needs some teammates to play with, which makes the video that much better.

The Golden Knights will have a full roster soon enough, but for now, Duke will do just fine.

For those wondering, the expansion draft will take place on June 18-20, so in essence once the playoffs are over, the draft will be right around the corner.
