The Golden Knights have also developed a reputation for being a physical team. They love to hit people, which is evident by Paul Cotter ranking fourth in hits (103), while Keegan Kolesar (93) is sixth. That’s a lot of “thumpity thump thump!”
Kolesar is a jolly happy soul for the Golden Knights, taking over the toughness role embraced by one Ryan Reaves. He’s not afraid to lay people out and get dirty. While not as famous as Reaves was, Keegan isn’t afraid to ask opponents to “catch him if they can”.
Think of Kolesar as Frosty the Snowman. A player who’s alive on the ice and even puts some magic behind the net, you can count on the right winger to spread some joy for Golden Knight fans. After all, there’s no better Christmas gift than a Keegan Kolesar hit.
