During the quarantine I missed watching hockey so much that I started going into the archives and putting together highlight reels for players that I felt especially nostalgic about. People seemed to like them, so I kept at it during the postseason even when games resumed.
The mixtapes range from your typical run of the mill goal scoring highlight reel, to more niche deep dives of specific skills. I decided to put together a list of the ones I’ve done so far here so that they’re more easily accessible for all. Enjoy.
