Junior Hockey Player Kicks Puck To Himself On Sensational Shootout Goal (Video)

Travis Walsh is a 17-year-old defenseman for the Muskegon (Mi.) Lumberjacks of the United States Hockey League, the premier junior league in the country. He has one goal and eight assists in 20 games so far this season…and, thanks to a recent shootout, now owns what will probably rank as one of the league’s plays of the year.

That play came two days ago, in the shootout portion of a 2-1 shootout win over the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders. As you’ll see above, Walsh’s attempt was successful, thanks to some sleight-of-skate, and a nifty move with the puck. Walsh’s player profile says he “considers himself more on the offensive side as a defenseman.” With moves like that, we can see why.

What we can’t see: why the announcer calling the goal wasn’t more excited. Sure, he calls it a “great move,” says “what a move,” but there’s not much feeling behind it. It was a spectacular goal, man. Get excited.

Junior Seau drove his car off a cliff–and survived–a day after getting booked for domestic violence. Bear with us as we take a trip to crazy town.

According Gossip Cop, Seau drove his car off of a cliff near his home in Oceanside, California. The accident occurred just hours after he was booked into the Vista Detention Facility for what is being called suspected domestic violence.

Gossip Cop spoke with law enforcement officers, who said that there was an emergency call at 8:42 a.m. on Monday.

When the fire department responded, they found a white Cadillac SUV that had driven off a cliff. The lone person in the vehicle was identified as Seau, and it’s unclear whether the “driven off a cliff” part was deliberate or accidental.

Here’s a photo of the crash, via TMZ:

Earlier, there were conflicting reports about just how verifiable the crash was. According to Gossip Cop, that was due to confusion with the police department, and the accident was very much real.

Seau has been transported to a hospital after suffering unknown injuries. cuts and bruises, according to Pro Football Talk.

Belue to attend junior college for 2010 season.

Belue to attend junior college for 2010 season.

“Belue signed as a member of Alabama’s 2010 recruiting class but did not qualify academically and was not included on the Crimson Tide’s 105-man preseason camp roster. Thus the former Deshler High defensive back standout was likely headed to prep school or junior college to start his collegiate career.”
