Shark Life: Happy Gilmore

Everyone is well aware of Sharks captain Joe Pavelski's skills on the ice. And now people know about his skills on the green.
This past weekend, Pavelski took part in the annual American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Lake Tahoe, his third time at the tournament.

"Everyone that comes here enjoys it. I really love it because this tournament of golf is a tournament I think I can play in and I think I can win one day."
Having seen him play, winning the tournament some day is definitely not out of the question for Joe Pavelski.
