The player accepts the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by getting a dump truck full of cold water poured on him on live TV. He donates money to the local Montreal ALS Office. He calls out Drake, Scott Moore and Phil Kessel.

I don’t think people understand how cold that water is in there right now. There’s sixty bags of ice in that thing right now. I got all these people watching. What’s gonna happen if I pee myself? I’m a little nervous.
