1. Young Darren Raddysh and Taylor Raddysh

The Raddysh brothers have been battling in front of the net since they were babies. During the Tampa Bay Lightning and Washington Capitals game on Wednesday, TNT showed a funny home video of the brothers when they were young. In the video, a toddler Darren knocks baby Taylor over while holding a hockey stick in his hand. Taylor immediately starts crying and you can hear their dad tell Darren to put the “hockey sick or golf club” down as the tot helps his brother back up to his feet.

2. Jacob Markstrom's son

Mini Markstrom stole the show at his dad’s 500^th game ceremony. The New Jersey Devils goalie’s son sported an adorable custom leather jacket as he greeted his dad and admired the commemorative silver stick during the pregame ceremony on Wednesday. Of course, the Devils weren’t going to let the little Markstrom go home without a stick of his own. Backup goalie Jake Allen presented the tot with a miniature version of the silver goalie stick which he gladly took.

4. Rasmus Andersson's son

Rasmus Andersson had the best kind of interruption this week. The Calgary Flames defenseman’s son, Benji, crashed his postgame media session in an adorable fashion. The toddler ran up to his dad and gave his dad a kiss after he was picked up while Andersson was answering questions. At first Benji acted shy, but then started calling for his mom and then wanted to be put down. He ended his appearance by saying, “All done,” into the mics.

Ranking: Camera shy

5. Buffalo Sabres

The Buffalo Sabres broke out the colorful markers before Thanksgiving. The Sabres attempted to draw hand turkeys in a video posted by the team on social media. Defenseman Jacob Bryson, a Canadian, asked if the drawings were a big thing in the U.S. Forward Peyton Krebs remarked that he wanted to do the activity with his kids. When they were finished, the Sabres held up their masterpieces for the camera.
