‘Knucklepuck’ makes its triumphant return

Sep 21, 2013, 12:06 AM | Updated: 12:06 am

Many children of the 90s learned about hockey through the Mighty Ducks movies.

Three in total, they followed the progression of a group of kids from a youth hockey league all the way to prep school, with a stop at the Junior Goodwill Games in between.

The trilogy introduced us to many characters and, well, an incredibly inaccurate view of hockey, but that does not mean they were any less fun.

So, when a former Mighty Duck makes his return more than a decade later, it’s enough to have the Haboob Blog reminisce. Needless to say, we were pretty excited when we learned Kenan Thompson and his “knucklepuck” got to make an appearance on Fox Sports 1.

And he didn’t disappoint.
