The Blackhawks traded defenseman Jan Rutta and a 2019 seventh-round draft pick to the Lightning for defenseman Slater Koekkoek and a 2019 fifth-round pick Friday afternoon.
But the Blackhawks acquired more than just a defenseman in Koekkoek, they got a 24-year-old man that knows every word to The B-52’s “Love Shack.”
During the 2016-17 AHL season, Koekkoek and his Syracuse Crunch teammates participated in some lip syncing videos. According to the Crunch’s public and media relations manager Megan Cahill, Koekkoek was game to participate in the “Love Shack” video.
