Which Current NHL Player Would Make The Best Santa Claus

[Mr. Met]

I think the best current NHL player to portray Santa Claus would be Corey Perry
​

Why he’d be great:

Perry, though known for his on-ice antics, is also widely respected for his leadership and the fun, approachable side he shows off the ice. With his big smile, sense of humor, and ability to engage with fans, Perry would be a hit as a jolly and personable Santa. He’s the type of guy who’d probably have a laugh with the kids while delivering gifts!

Radko Gudas


without a doubt

 

[Kryten]

Phil Kessel, he will be back

 

[Akrapovince]

Damn shoulda made this thread when Jumbo Joe was still in the league.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Brent Burns.

 

[1989]

Rempe for the naughty kids.

Edit: My bad, NHL player...

 

[LokiDog]

It’s Gudas. Not a fan of the Ducks or Gudas specifically in any way, but he immediately came to mind and doesn’t have much competition.

 

[Xirik]

Patrick Maroon

 

[HabzSauce]

Savard

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Zibananjed especially with that hair flowing under Santa's white wig.

Dress him up in a red suit and NHL alumnus Joe Thornton certainly has the beard for it. And he's pretty jovial.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Marchand

 

[Kennedys]

Ovi

If you think the most important part of being Santa is the beard then you need to report to church early tomorrow morning.

Savard has a Santa puffiness quality that Gudas will never equal.

 

[Mike C]

Patrick Maroon

My first thought too. Immediately followed by Don Cherry for Mr. Grinch

 

[ricky0034]

Matthews for the hilarity of the shock value if someone pulls off the fake beard

 

[Dr Robot]

Until he officially retires my answer will always be Jagr.

You could even say he has some experience in the role, since he pulled out his sack at the Blackhawks Christmas Party last year
