Fellow Swedish NHL defencemen Erik Karlsson and Victor Hedman really know how to celebrate Pirate Fest.
The pair of all-stars arrived to the NHL Skills Competition on Saturday donning intricate pirate costumes coinciding with Gasparilla Pirate Fest taking place in Tampa, Fla., the same location of NHL All-Star Weekend.
The festival has been held almost every year since 1904 honouring fictional pirate José Gaspar, a Spanish pirate who is suppossed to have operated around the Fla. area in the 1800s.
The event includes a parade and reenactments of Gaspar and his crew pirating across Tampa Bay.
