Hockey, anyone?

Tennis legend Billie Jean King may have been trying her hand at a different sport than the one that made her a household name, but she showed she can play a little hockey.

The Chicago Blackhawks gave King the chance to shoot from center ice during their intermission contest and she buried it.
King's attempt slipped through the right side of the blocked off net which has just three small openings to fit a puck through.
The left-handed shot, wearing a custom Blackhawks No. 1 jersey, calmly stepped up to the red line and nailed it.
King earned applause from United States Women's Ice Hockey Team forward Hilary Knight for the score.

Puck, set, match.
