Patrick Kane: 5 Most Volatile Off-Ice Personalities in the NHL

Tyler JuranovichMar 7, 2011

When it comes to playing in the NHL (and any other professional sport) there are two lives an athlete must live: the one on-ice, and the one off-ice.

Whether they can juggle the two roles is up to them.ย 

There are some players who go above and beyond the call of duty. These guys add flair and spice to their team, while entertainingย bothย fans and non-fans alike.

Here's a list of some of the most intriguing off-ice personalities in the NHL.

Please don't be shy to give your favorite off-ice personalities. ย 

Patrick Kane

Despite the Buffalo allegations, Patrick Kane has emerged as one of the most marketed faces in the NHLโ€”and for good reasons.ย 

Almost always paired with fellow teammate, Jonathan Toews, Kane and Toews make a very good comedic duo. They are always seen together in commercials, as well as any Blackhawks' related events.ย 

Kane, at first, seems like a shy person, but a little more prodding and you usually get a joke or two from him, as evident in the video above. ย 

Chris Pronger

2 of 5

Love him or hate him, Chris Pronger knows how to add some fun to the game, whether it's amusing to just him or everyone else.ย 

Whether it's setting up pranks, messing with the media or stealing game pucks at the Stanley Cup championships, Pronger remains a Philadelphia fan-favorite whileย aggravatingย most of the other fans around the league.ย 

Patrick Shap (and Adam Burish)

3 of 5

The second Blackhawk and the second Patrick on this list, Patrick Sharp is aย notoriousย prankster inย theย NHL. Like most pranksters, Sharp has a sidekick. Adam Burish used to be Sharp's right-hand man when it came to pulling pranks.ย 

Sharp has had a history to messing with fellow Blackhawks Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews' room. He was even voted by his team as the number one prankster.

Whether it be from his pranks or silly Halloween costumes, Sharp is able to show a more casual side contrasted to his on-iceย personality without all the scandal.ย

Daniel and Henrik Sedin

4 of 5

The Sedin twins are the most potent duo in the NHL today. Loved by Canucks fans and adored by all NHL fans, Henrik and Daniel Sedin made this list easily.ย 

A lot of people know about their on-ice personalities, but little know about them personally, though that is made sure of by the twins themselves.

Their on-ice persona is a bit more serious, the twins do have a humorous side, as represented in the video.ย 

They are always very good people, having donated $1.5 million to the BC Children's Hospital.ย 

Alexander Ovechkin

5 of 5

It's impossible to know anything about the NHL without knowing of Alexander Ovechkin. His dazzling goals and high tempo playing style has made him, alongside Sydney Crosby, the most marketed men in the NHL.

But Ovechkin often has a funny side to him.ย 

And with all the press, he has failed to make a serious blunder in his off-ice personality.ย 

(Or maybe it's just the Russian accent?)
