Game-day gifts for hockey families • Easy online ordering from the coast to the rink.
We Blame the Forwards Tee
Three guys coming the other way. One D-man back.
Wonder how that happened.
WE BLAME THE FORWARDS is for defensemen, D-dads and hockey families who know the universal truth: when everything goes right, the forwards get the highlights. When everything goes wrong… somehow the defenseman is standing there trying to fix it.
Tight gaps. Clear pucks. Defend first. Blame forwards as needed.
No hard feelings, boys. Somebody has to do it.
