WHL rocks Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Not really news. Lots of NHL'ers do MMA training in the off season. Bieksa has been doing it for some time as well. Gillis dis say he wants to get a lot more players doing this as he's really pleased with the results. Sedins next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdeath Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Someone slip Bruce Buffer a few bills to record: "Introducing first, FIGHTING out of the Blue corner, this man is an NHL hockey player, holding a professional record of 2 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw. He stands six feet, 3 inches tall, weighing in at 213 pounds.

pimpcurtly Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Rypien was boxing, I also highly doubt he was the first hockey player to train in combat sports. MG also says he's pleased with the results and he may have other prospects start doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I was wondering where he got that move where he wrestled Eager down...from behind him. Hordichuk trained with Chuck Liddel when he first signed with Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
