I do not know what possessed American (and I mean very American) hockey player Ryan Hollweg to do a rendition of Tom Petty’s heartland rock classic “Free Fallin’” on ice, but I’m glad he did, even if it is totally unbearable to watch. Hollweg now plays for Czech Extraliga, the biggest hockey league in the Czech Republic, so perhaps he was feeling a little homesick and nostalgic? It appears Hollweg doesn’t entirely know the chords or the lyrics to the song, but he’s really giving it his all, and isn’t that what hockey is about, or something?

The performance actually concluded a game, and while I don’t know if Hollweg’s team won or lost, there is no doubt in my mind that Hollweg is a winner at life. His goofy serenade on skates starts at 7:01, below:
