Goal celebrations are one of the most unique ways a professional athlete can express themselves in the sport of hockey or soccer.
Vancouver Whitecaps defender Kendall Waston might have the most eccentric and distinctive celly there is around. Being a defender, Waston doesn’t often find the back of the net, so when his teammates score, he makes sure to take full advantage that the cameras will be zooming in on him.
In an interview with TSN 1040’s Blake Price, Watson explains why he decides to slap his teammates. But what happens when he scores himself? Let’s find out.
Some of the GIFS of Waston smacking his teammates over the years are pretty funny.
The closest thing we’ve seen to this is when hockey players smack each other on their cages or visors, but nothing is as direct as Waston’s “slap celly.”
The Whitecaps will be without the Costa Rican when they head back home to B.C. Place next week, as Watson is off to play two international friendlies against Scotland and Tunisia.
