We all know hockey is serious business. But sometimes after a tough skate, you need to have a little fun, especially if it’s with your family. After practice at Kettler, Jay Beagle stayed behind with his young son Brandt to do a little skating and to help Baby Beags practice his hockey moves.

Brandt was wearing a very special pair of ice skates for his second ever time hitting the ice: They were also worn by Jay and Grandpa Beagle when they were kids!

Nice backhand, kiddo!

He is just too cute, and who knows? Maybe 15 years from now we will see little Brandt follow in his father paw prints.

Michael Latta certainly thinks so.

First overall pick 2032, calling it now. https://t.co/IDaYfdRwdQ
