🏒 Hiatus Diaries: Dog obstacles, impossible trick shots, and more

With the pandemic suspending sporting events worldwide, athletes suddenly have tons of time on their hands. In the latest installment of our weekly NHL series, we look at how they've been keeping themselves entertained - and in shape - while self-isolating.

Greiss puts pups to the test

New York Islanders goaltender Thomas Greiss set up hurdles for his dogs, which earned mixed reviews from his pair of canine pals. We would love to see just how complex this obstacle course can get as the hiatus continues.

Gallagher's getting creative

Brendan Gallagher has become a staple in this series over the weeks, providing constant entertainment in the form of TikToks. In his latest show, he drains a near-impossible trick shot in a bet with teammate Nick Suzuki. The "Miracle" speech in the background was an incredible touch.

Pastrnak loves his treats

Since his race for the Rocket Richard Trophy is on pause, David Pastrnak has decided to race his dog for treats. Honestly, we're not sure what's more entertaining.

Lucy Subban, enforcer

Poor P.K. Subban probably thought he was safe from such devastating body checks during the lockdown.

Seguin trains with his pals

NHLers sure love their dogs, eh?

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin was another player to document his time off with his closest pals, showcasing his impressive backyard setup and how his pups help keep his skills sharp.

Coach Q sticks with what he knows

Coaches need attention too, right? Three of the league's best teamed up for a conference call this past week, where Florida Panthers boss Joel Quenneville revealed he's not one to change what once worked for him.

Capitals reignite rivalry

This isn't necessarily a textbook hiatus diary, but was undoubtedly one of the best social media posts in the hockey world this past week. The Capitals used a popular TikTok format to take a friendly jab at their old nemesis, and we applaud the execution.
