Growing up in Wisconsin, Texans defensive end J.J. Watt first laced up a pair of skates when he was a toddler.
Watt is a huge hockey fan and he still skates whenever his busy schedule allows him to do so.
"I love hockey, I'm a huge hockey fan," Watt said. "I love to skate. I love playing. There's nothing like putting the puck in the back of the net. I'm probably too big to be the guy who does that anymore. I guess I could be an enforcer."
Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta is hoping to land an NHL franchise for the city of Houston.
