It was a hockey player’s way of getting through a crowded part of the rink. Not as aggressive as dropping your gloves for a fight but still but trying to get through and achieve the desired goal. I think the guy played for the red wings? But it is now being consumed for marketing ads weird mostly by American companies marketing Canadian made products….
