The 2020 Hart Trophy winner got together with two of the best tennis players in the world for a little sports crossover action.
The ATP Tour shared a video of Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl meeting up with Alex Zverev, the No. 7 ranked player on the tour and Felix Auger-Aliassime, ranked No. 17, for a little hockey and tennis session.
The trio met at Laxness Arena in Cologne, Germany, site of the 2020 Bett1Hulks ATP tournament. Cologne is also Draisaitl's hometown. Draisaitl showed the two tennis aces his skills shooting a tennis ball with a hockey stick. Auger-Aliassime, a native of Montreal, said that he plays a little amateur hockey during the tennis offseason.
Zverev, like Draisaitl, is a native of Germany. The 2020 U.S. Open finalist was born in Hamburg. After the hockey, the three played a little bit of tennis. "It was great fun," said Zverev, one of only five active players, along with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray to have three ATP Masters titles. "But I'll definitely stick to tennis."
