Braden Holtby is now officially famous. The Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender made a cameo in an On The Bench episode, which features former Bangladesh pro Olly Postanin and former Virgin Island elite league pro Jacob Ardown trying to teach the Holtbeast some fundamentals of the game.
“In this eppie, the boys teach Braden Holtby how stop the biscuit and set it up for the d man,” writes the two village idiots on their Instagram page. Except there’s only one problem – Holtby is already really, really good at hockey.

After showing off his skills, Holtby bodychecks Olly into the net to thank him for his time.
Here’s the shorter, more edited down version on the group’s Instagram page.

The On The Bench crew has also taught several other big time players how to take their game to the next level such as Jeff Carter, Johnny Gaudreau, Drew Doughty, Brad Richardson, and Kyle Clifford.
