Evander Kane skating in mens league under hilarious pseudonym
The National Hockey League offseason is well underway and while players have different ideas to stay in shape and prepare for next season it appears that Edmonton Oilers Left Winger Evander Kane has chosen to play on a men's league team under a pseudonym.
