Coaching is an extremely underrated part of any game. They might not actually get involved in the game itself, but they’re the ones who draw everything up and attempt to build the chemistry between the players in the locker room.
Earlier this year, we sent Corwin and Jesse undercover as hockey coaches and had them step onto random rec-league hockey teams’ benches in an attempt to lead those teams to victory. Recently, Jesse and Corwin were at it again as they took their talents to Sudbury and managed to get behind the benches at Nick Foligno’s annual NHL vs. Docs charity game in support of the NEO Kids Foundation. Neo Kids Foundation raises money to purchase equipment, conduct life-changing research and increase awareness for Children's health needs in North Eastern Ontario -- so big ups to the Folignos for making this game happen every year.
This one looked especially fun and the rosters were packed with stars (No, we're not talking about Corwin and Jesse). Matt Duchene, John Tavares, Seth Jones, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Cam Atkinson, the Foligno brothers and many more were in attendance doing autograph signings, meeting fans and either coaching or playing in the game.
These guys play in the NHL, so they’re used to having a coach stand behind them and scream throughout the game, but they probably weren’t expecting to have that experience during a charity hockey game in the summer.
You just never know when Jesse and Corwin are going to show up at your local hockey rink undercover as hockey coaches.
