NHL players put best costumes on display for Hockey Halloween

Hockey Halloween is here again, and NHL players have once again put their best costumes on display.

Here are some of our favorite looks from spooky season.

Dougie Hamilton the Pig

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Dougie Hamilton was a pig, in a nod
to the swine
named for him during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Teammates Warren Foegele went dressed as Tony Montana from "Scarface," and Andrei Svechnikov was Freddy Krueger from "A Nightmare on Elm Street."

O'Reilly, Perron switcheroo

, with O'Reilly rocking a French toast outfit with the Quebecois forward's name on the back. Perron carried a guitar for his musically inclined teammate and a fake Conn Smythe Trophy in place of the real one O'Reilly earned after the Blues' Stanley Cup win in June.

Freddie Mercury will rock you

Freddie Mercury was a popular costume for NHL players because his biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" was released in November 2018. Colorado Avalanche defenseman Sam Girard gets bonus points for including the Queen lead singer's sizeable teeth.

A rocket man

Freddie Mercury wasn't the only music icon to be featured in a major motion picture in the past year. Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jason Demers and girlfriend Jillian Mueller, who is a Broadway actress, paid homage to costume legend Elton John. Mueller wore his famous baseball getup from his 1975 Dodger Stadium performance while Demers went as his piano.

Take a chance on me

When you're from Sweden, an ABBA costume seems like a natural choice. Philadelphia Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom and defenseman Robert Hagg did the honors of dressing up as Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, while their girlfriends Alma and Klara were Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.

Shape of you

Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen might want to watch out for mobs of teen girls if he's going to leave the house in that frighteningly accurate Ed Sheeran costume.

You're a mean one

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid may have stolen Halloween by dressing up as the Grinch with his girlfriend Lauren Kyle wearing a Cindy Lou Hoo costume. They were joined by a special guest, McDavid's dog Lenny, who played the role of the Grinch's best friend Max.

'Cast Away' Coleman

The 'Shrek' crew

Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson was the title character from the "Shrek" films. Teammates Quinn Hughes and Thatcher Demko went as pigs, Jake Virtanen was Gingy the Gingerbread Man and Brock Boeser aptly went as Prince Charming.

Winter is Coming

The attention to detail is what takes New York Islanders defenseman Scott Mayfield's costume with his wife Emily over the top. Dressed as Hodor pushing around Bran Stark from "Game of Thrones," the duo had Bran's direwolf Summer and Valyrian steel swords.
