We get that August is the slowest hockey month of the year and all, but do we ever have a fun video to show you.

Three of the game’s best offensive players. Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon and Brad Marchand, all happen to come from the Maritimes so logically, the three gents tend to get together in the summer for some offseason training. This year has proven to be no exception, as the three were spotted hitting the ice together in their home province of Nova Scotia. The trio put their skill on full display, particularly from 2:25 on around the net.

Let’s remember that these dudes combined for 299 (MacKinnon 99, Marchand 100, Crosby 100) points this past season…

 

Which was better… this year’s or last year’s? We’ll let you decide.

 

That Crosby backhand is something else.

Turns out that a couple of these dudes have some pretty solid chem off the ice as well. Who could forget the classic Timmie’s commercials with Sid and Nate Dog?

 

Hope this video managed to fill your hockey void this summer.
