Brent Burns mistaken for pirate at Disney World, signs autographs anyway

Some kids at Disney World met one of the NHL's best players and they just had to get his autograph.

Not because San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns is a Norris Trophy finalist, but because they apparently thought he was part of the "Pirates of the Carribean" exhibit.

"I actually signed a bunch of autographs in kids' (Disney character) books for that. They thought I was a pirate. So I signed them. It was fun," Burns said in an interview shared by the Sharks. "We always try to dress up and have a good time every day there, so I can't blame the kids for thinking that."

Burns, in case you missed it, took the family to Disney World back in May and tweeted a picture of a
"family reunion" with Chewbacca
.
"We had a great family trip to Disney World. It was the first time for the kids. We usually go to Disney Land (in Anaheim, Ca.), so it was a lot of fun to go there (Disney World in Orlando, Fla.). We got to meet a long lost cousin. Chewy was great."
