10 Adorable NHL Bromances Guaranteed To Warm Your Heart

On the ice, tough men of the frozen tundra. Off the ice, sweet friendships that will thaw the coldest of hearts.

1. Morgan Rielly and Jake Gardiner, Toronto Maple Leafs

Because real bros get questionably flattering checkered suits fitted together and pose in the same awkward stance to commemorate the event.

2. Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, Chicago Blackhawks

Captain Serious meets annoying little brother. They quibble and all, but we all know they secretly love each other. Oh, they churned out a Stanley Cup together, too.

3. Claude Giroux and Patrick Elias, Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils

"I want to touch your face." "No stop it, people are watching."

This is the gif you watch over and over when you've lost all hope.

4. Max Gallagher and Alex Galchenyuk, Montreal Canadiens

It's rare to see NHL fanfiction, there's clearly something about these two since it exists in plentiful quantity for them. The Gallys, as they are known, are two of the most promising rookies in the NHL on the ice and off the ice, just 2 guyz and they're having a good time.

5. Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Edmonton Oilers

Well this pretty much says it all, doesn't it.

6. Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn, Dallas Stars

Seguin has been having a resurgence in Dallas and much of it is due to his chemistry with BFF Benn. Described as polar opposites, their friendship quickly blossomed and they recently bought houses close to each other, though not close enough for Jamie, apparently.

From the ESPN article chronicling their bromance-- "Jamie wants to buy a bike," Seguin said with a grin. "He doesn't feel like wasting energy and walking to my house, even though he can. So he still hasn't gotten around to buying a bike because he's that lazy."

7. Scott Hartnell and Claude Giroux, Philadelphia Flyers

It was hard to see this bromance get separated. Giroux initially refused to believe it when Hartnell texted him to tell him he had been traded to the Bluejackets this summer. The sorrow of parting was evident from the post-trade interview quotes from the usually eloquent captain Giroux- "It's sad...It's not a fun day...It's a sad day." "I don't know. I don't know...I don't know what to say."

8. T.J. Oshie and Patrik Berglund, St. Louis Blues

A bromance in which during a period when Oshie was injured in 2011, Berglund was mired in a major slump but went on a scoring streak as soon as his buddy was back on the ice. These two interview each other with deep questions like "Do you like sweet potatoes?" and roomed together with side-by-side lockers, as well. Here they are doing...something.

9. Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider, Former Vancouver Canucks

As this video hilariously shows, these two made the most of a goalie rivalry in Vancouver. "There's a reason why Cory rhymes with glory, and Lu rhymes with number two."

10. Phil Kessel and His Black Beanie, Toronto Maple Leafs

He just refuses to take it off. It's ugly, but strangely it makes him kind of...lovable? I guess there's a reason he's hockey's dorky older brother.
