Postgame interview with a very humble hockey player... _ This Hour Has 22 Minutes

A postgame interview with a humble hockey player on This Hour Has 22 Minutes is a perfect blend of sincerity and comedy. The player, fresh off the ice, downplays their performance, giving all credit to their teammates, the coaching staff, and even the Zamboni driver. Despite scoring the game-winning goal, they insist it was just "being in the right place at the right time" and that "anyone else would’ve done the same."

Meanwhile, the interviewer, leaning into the show’s signature satire, tries to get the player to admit they’re secretly a hockey superstar. But the athlete stays modest, dodging the praise like a pro and delivering classic Canadian politeness. Even when pressed about their incredible play, they shrug and say, “Just trying to keep my stick on the ice, you know?”

The exchange is lighthearted, charming, and full of dry wit—celebrating not just the talent on the ice but also the down-to-earth nature of Canadian hockey culture.
