J.J. Watt has always said hockey was his first love. He grew up playing the sport, and on Friday night, he laced up the skates once again and proved he's still got it.
The Pro Bowl defensive end went back to his alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he made a surprise appearance at the second annual Blake Geoffrion Hockey Classic, a charity hockey game made up of former Badger greats and current NHL players to raise money to benefit the UW Health Burn Center.
ESPN sportscaster John Buccigross emceed the event and opened the night by surprising the crowd with Watt's introduction.
