'Frozen' kingdom of Arendelle painted on back of Aaron Dell's mask
Get it? Sharks goalie's name sounds just like world inhabited by Elsa, Anna and Olaf

Why does Aaron Dell play hockey? Because the cold never bothered him anyway.
The 28-year-old San Jose Sharks goalie was playing hockey long before Disney's "Frozen" was released in 2013, but, with a name pronounced that way it [say it again to yourself if you've seen the movie] was only a matter of time before it caught up to him. You see, the fictional kingdom where the events of "Frozen," is called Arendelle. And it's not hard to see why fans are drawing similarites between Arendelle and Aaron Dell.
But it was the goalie himself who kicked it up a notch when he recently had the kindgom painted on his mask . The backplate of the mask features the Arendelle's gated castle with the North Mountain, the one Queen Elsa retreats to in the middle of the movie that sets her sister Anna off on a journey to find her, in the background. But don't expect the Sharks' Aaron Dell to any love from Princess Anna of Arendelle. She is voiced by actress Kristen Bell, who is on the record as being a huge Detroit Red Wings fan .
