Bill Belichick Skates With Claude Julien Around Gillette Stadium's Winter Classic Rink
BOSTON (CBS) -- The media is having a field day with Bill Belichick at Gillette Stadium on Thursday ahead of the Winter Classic between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens. Belichick arrived at his presser donning a Winter Classic hat, answered a few hockey-related questions, and topped it off with a skate around the Foxboro rink with Bruins head coach Claude Julien.
Yes, this is Bill Belichick in ice skates.
Belichick talked about his past experiences skating and playing hockey at Phillips Academy in Andover and Wesleyan University. He also had plenty to say about hockey itself, inspiring thoughts of the wild and crazy things that the Hoodie might do if he coached the Bruins.
Looks like Belichick also got some stick play in with Julien. It's only fair that Claude straps on some shoulder pads and runs Oklahoma drills at some point, right?
Too bad Belichick doesn't have the skills to suit up as a special guest for the Alumni game.
BONUS: The Bruins revealed Tuukka Rask's Winter Classic mask on Twitter, and it pays heavy tribute to Tom Brady and the Patriots.
