The World's Sexiest Ice Hockey Player?

Yesterday a Finnish tabloid (Iltalehti) wrote about "world's sexiest ice hockey player". Imagine our surprise when this turned out to be Henrik Lundqvist.



The title was probably a reference to an article on Page Six Magazine on January 2009 by Kirsten Fleming (titled "Henrik Lundqvist: The World's Sexiest Ice Man). And even though Mr Pretty Boy was named on People magazine's list of Most Beautiful People in 2006 we don't care.

The writers of this blag believe only one person can carry the title of the World's Sexiest Ice Hockey Player:



Jarkko Ruutu.

Of course, his brother isn't too bad either.



Some other names we came up with (in no particular order) are Ryan Getzlaf and Teemu Selänne:



Todd Bertuzzi:



Antero Niittymäki:



and Ilya Kovalchuk.



And if we have to have a Swede, why not Zeta?



Even though Alex Ovechkin is not good-looking in any traditional sense, he has animal magnetism so he made our list.



This is by no means a definite list of hot hockey players, just a selection we came up with when discussing the subject (we agreed on most, too. No gender divide here).

Let's finish with another pic of our favourite, just because.
