The media can be an overwhelming element of becoming a professional hockey player. You need to prepare to always be in the spotlight, both when you score the game winning goal and when you commit the bonehead turnover that leads to the game winning goal against.

That same sentiment goes for when you’re off the ice. You may be caught in some not-so-flattering moments that wouldn’t have been a big deal if you didn’t have a spotlight shining down on you. On the flip side, it can also open up positive aspects of being an athlete, such as endorsement deals and a level of relative fame that allows one’s voice to have more of an impact.

It can also sometimes just be fun to create entertaining productions, something the San Jose Sharks in particular have gotten very accustomed to.

Of course, putting together such ridiculous advertisements can also lead to some hilarious bloopers as the teammates always seem to have a little fun with the cameras.

 

 

 

 

The latest commercial for the Sharks’ “Sharks For Life” campaign features the likes of Logan Couture, Brenden Dillon, and goalie Martin Jones. They had just about as much fun with it as their predecessors.

 

 

The Sharks are a really easy team to like, with lots of personality seeming to stream through each of their lines and pairings. On top of that, they are also just fantastic guys.
