Phil Kessel is one of a kind.
The guy is not only an elite athlete, but he can pack away hot dogs with the best of 'em. Look out, Joey Chestnut.
In all seriousness, the two time Stanley Cup champion is one of the most beloved players in the NHL not only from fans but from his teammates, as well. From every stop in his NHL career Kessel has teammates who will sing his praises and talk about what a great player and a great guy he is both on and off the ice. Oh... and he's also the NHL's all-time Ironman with an insane 1,006 (and counting!) games and counting.
Tonight with his return to Pittsburgh, the place where he earned his two Stanley Cup championships, the Pittsburgh Penguins paid tribute to the fan favorite and honored his achievements with a very classy video.

A classy move from a classy organization for a classy individual. All class!
