The Most Outrageous NHL Celebrations of the Decade

PJ BernackiJun 8, 2018

Normally we think of football or soccer when talking about creative or outrageous celebrations, but hockey should be right up there on that list. Even with the limitations of skates, no fan interaction and bulky pads, the NHL has given birth to exciting and funny celebrations such as Dave "Tiger" Williams riding his stick and Milan Hejduk swimming on the ice.

But let's take a look at some of the best celebrations of the past few years. 

The Ovi Dance

1 of 5

Alex Ovechkin's known to be a very animated player, like his "hot stick" celebration after he scored his 50th goal in 2009. This dance comes after a game-winning goal in overtime two years ago. 

Chest Bump Fail

2 of 5

Hockey might want to leave this for football and basketball players. P.K. Subban and his goalie, Carey Price, are prime examples. 

Blackhawks Win

3 of 5

Given that it was an overtime goal that gave Chicago the Stanley Cup, this was the best team celebration in a long time.
