Fan keeps promise of shaving beard after getting puck from McDavid
An Illinois man was so eager to snag a puck from Connor McDavid that he promised to shave his beard if the Edmonton Oilers captain made it happen.
Nick Cordell, who hadn't been without facial hair since 2008, brought a sign reading "@cmcdavid97 I will shave beard for a puck" to the Oilers' game against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night.

"This was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a hockey game," Cordell, a Detroit Red Wings fan, told Pat Pickens of NHL.com. "I was just in shock and awe when he gave me the puck, I couldn't believe it actually happened and never thought about backing out of the deal."
