Story: Is there anything Tom Brady can’t do?
The seven-time Super Bowl champion, who will turn to television as a pundit this fall, showed off his hockey skills in New York on Thursday before Fanatics Fest NYC, a one-of-a-kind show for fans, collectors and athletes.
Brady, who retired from the NFL after the 2022-23 season, is seen in a video trying out his wrist shot at the Target Practice exhibition, attempting to shoot pucks into a stacked washer and dryer. On the first shot, he comes close to shooting the puck into the dryer, misses it a little on the second and third attempts, but then – not surprisingly – slams his fourth shot right into the slot.
The idea of shooting pucks at a dryer was popularized by a young Sidney Crosby, who would shoot pucks at the family dryer while growing up in Cole Harbor, Nova Scotia.
Brady, who won the Super Bowl six times with the New England Patriots and once with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is one of dozens of big-name athletes who will be at Fanatics Fest NYC this weekend.
Other guests include Auston Matthews, who was named captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday, New York Rangers defenseman K’Andre Miller, Rangers forward Matt Rempe and former Rangers goalies Henrik Lundqvist and Mike Richter.
