We already knew Andrew Cristall was a gem of a hockey player. Now we know he\u2019s a character, too.<\/p>\n
The silky-mitted forward was recently mic\u2019d up at a Hershey Bears practice, where he showed off his fun personality.<\/p>\n
Video<\/p>\n
Grant Cruikshank seemed to know what was coming, warning his teammates, \u201c20 mic\u2019d up, 20 mic\u2019d up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNope,\u201d Cristall replies, to the belief of no one.<\/p>\n
The clip starts with Cristall taking a shot at a goaltender, but not quite to his liking.<\/p>\n
\u201cAh, gave him a freebie. That was a,\u201d and then he sings with a falsetto voice, \u201cfreeeeeebieeeeee.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eventually, the talented forward prospect makes his way to the Bears\u2019 bench, where he encounters a nervous assistant equipment manager, Dillon Filepas.<\/p>\n
Filepas, not wanting to catch any crossfire, tells Cristall, \u201cYou\u2019ve been a beaut all day.\u201d Likely, in an attempt to get him to leave him alone.<\/p>\n
Cristall then asks, \u201cYou get that stuff figured out, or no? For your back? Like the rash, you\u2019ve got that stuff figured out?\u201d<\/p>\n
Eventually, we find Cristall at center ice, surrounded by two of the tallest players in minor league hockey, Ilya Protas and Eriks Mateiko.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you good, though?\u201d Protas asks Cristall.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt basketball?\u201d Cristall replies. \u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably not,\u201d Protas guesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I\u2019m nasty,\u201d Cristall says. He then turns to 6-foot-6 Eriks Mateiko. \u201cLet\u2019s go one-on-one, bro, at basketball. One-on-on me.\u201d<\/p>\n
