This, of course, is the first season the Islanders are playing their home games out of Brooklyn’s Barclay’s Center. How familiar are the people of Brooklyn with hockey?
On an episode of Comedy Central’s The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore , Brooklyn native Mike Yard spends some time with New York Islanders forward Cal Clutterbuck on the ice to learn the ins and outs of the game.
Yard also talks with Matt Martin and Casey Cizikas of the Islanders before hitting the ice, where he showed off some raw hockey skills.
It’s pretty great.
Later in the episode, Yard takes Clutterbuck to his local barber shop where the NHLer strangely refers to his moustache as a “muzzy.” Maybe that’s just hockey jargon we’re not aware of.
