Before the 2016 Winter Classic, New England Patriots' head coach Bill Belichick skated on the outdoor rink at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. It appears the coach inspired one of the players on his team, as Patriots' safety Patrick Chung laced up his skates on Friday and hit the ice with the Boston Bruins after practice.

We don't always expect a lot when we hear a professional athlete from another sport has laced up the skates and attempt to play hockey, but we have to give Chung a whole lot of credit. He looked pretty good out there on the ice... maybe even better than his coach.
