During the World Cup of Hockey, Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby did a modeling gig with GOTSTYLE, a Toronto-based retail store.
Not only did Holtby try on a few suits and t-shirts for the brand, he also answered 20 questions for the company’s YouTube channel. In the video, we learn that Holtby’s celebrity man crush is Derek Jeter and that his biggest weakness, among “many,” is that “I’m not very socially outgoing.”
Holtby also can’t help but laugh after he names his favorite post-game meal. “I can’t usually eat after games so I go straight to the wine usually.”
Here’s the full transcript.
