We all remember how annoying it was to have loose teeth as a child. Sometimes you would leave it until it was so wiggly you could practically bend it 180 degrees back and forth, other times you would cut your loses and yank it out as soon as possible. 

We've seen teeth come out in apples and carrots, we've seen the old door slam trick, but our favourite way to remove a tooth is definitely the slapshot.

On Tuesday, a video surfaced showing a young hockey fan doing just that. With some string tied around his loose baby tooth, the kid excitedly slaps the puck in front of him. Sure enough, it worked.

We must say, we are impressed with the toughness of this kid. He doesn't seem to flinch and flashes his Drew Doughty-esque smile to his father right afterwards. This kid has a future in the game.
