Bus rides are always a blast, but sometimes you run out of things to do in order to pass the time. Most players sleep, watch TikTok or watch Miracle, but Chase Beacom of the NAHL Bismarck Bobcats does something a little outside the norm. He knits. I’ll go ahead and say it… hockey players are the most talented people in the world. We can do whatever you put in front of us.
“You know, we do some activities and my activity ended up being knitting,” says Defenseman Chase Beacom. “It was my second-day learning. And the day before, my billet taught me so that’s how I got into it.”
Chase’s billet mom Linda suggested knitting to him and he was all in for it.
“So we took, maybe, a little more than an hour,” says Linda. “I sat with him and showed him the basics and he took off. I mean, he just took off. I’m very impressed with how quickly he picked it up.”
See, told ya so. Hockey players are one of a kind. We can do it all. Wouldn’t be surprised if Chase is representing the United States at the Olympics of knitting someday. Absolute beauty.
Chase, if you are reading this, I’ll take a TJHP scarf. Name your price and I am in.
