If you think hockey is just about brawls and big hits, then you need to think again. Of course, the game is more of high-speed action, brutal hits, and the gloves come off occasionally for a showdown. But every once in a while, amidst all the chaos, we get a moment so pure that even the hardcore fans blame being moved to tears on someone chopping onions nearby.
In the recent matchup between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Winnipeg Jets, fans witnessed one such moment. And in case you are wondering if this is just a winning moment, you are wrong. It was Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere‘s moment to shine after a hard-fought game—the Lion King moment!
The Carolina Hurricanes posted the scene on X, where Gostisbehere was carrying his young son onto the ice after the win. The caption read, “This moment with Ghost and his son.” And we say it was a Mufasa moment because the crowd roared, teammates celebrated, and in the middle of it all, Gostisbehere lifted his little one like Simba on Pride Rock! It is the kind of scene that makes you forget about trivial things in life such as trade rumors, standings, and bad penalty calls for a second.
Let’s get real—Nothing tops a proud hockey dad sharing the moment with his kid.
