McDonald’s has reached out to NHL superstar Leon Draisaitl to join forces in providing substantial relief to the families affected by the devastating floods in Texas — a natural disaster now being called one of the most catastrophic in the state’s history.

According to sources close to the negotiations, McDonald’s has pledged to spend tens of millions of dollars in collaboration with Draisaitl, aiming to support both the families of those who tragically lost their lives and the survivors who now face the difficult task of rebuilding their homes and communities.

The Edmonton Oilers forward, known not just for his talent on the ice but also for his generous spirit, reportedly agreed immediately when McDonald’s executives contacted him about the joint effort.

Insiders say Draisaitl will personally visit some of the hardest-hit areas in the coming weeks to meet with survivors and local organizations to ensure the aid reaches those who need it most.

A spokesperson for McDonald’s stated, “We believe in giving back to the communities we serve.

This disaster has deeply affected thousands of families, and together with Leon, we want to stand by Texas in this time of immense need.”

Fans have taken to social media to praise both McDonald’s and Draisaitl for their quick response and compassion, calling this partnership an inspiring example of how sports figures and corporations can unite for meaningful impact when communities are in crisis.

Nick Tarnasky drops the ”gloves” on the golf course

Even though you’re a retired hockey player, you’re still a hockey player at heart. That means if you were an enforcer during your career, you can still throw down if needed—something an aggressive golfer recently learned after chirping former NHLer Nick Tarnasky on the golf course.

Most NHL fans have probably never heard of Nick Tarnasky. Now 40, Tarnasky was drafted in 2003 by the Tampa Bay Lightning. He played his first full season with them in 2006–2007, scoring five goals and four assists in 77 games.

Nick Tarnasky golf fight

In total, Nick Tarnasky played 245 games in the NHL, racking up 30 points and 297 penalty minutes. His numbers speak for themselves—Tarnasky was a fighter.

Now, a video of Tarnasky is going viral. The footage shows him arguing with two men on a golf course for several minutes. One of the men refuses to tee off, and after being told repeatedly to hit the ball, he challenges Tarnasky—despite multiple warnings.

”Obviously a hockey player”

“F*cking cry about it, let’s go!” the man says to Nick Tarnasky, who has had enough.

In the video, Tarnasky is seen throwing the man into the water before grabbing his shirt and giving it to him, NHL-style.

Hockey fans are now reacting to the viral clip.

“Top Dogg of the Year,” one person wrote.

“Lol, I’ve never seen someone more obviously a hockey player in my life,” another added.

“This might be one of my favorite videos of all time,” a third person commented.
