Lionel Messi as a hockey player

A natural center rated 93 in Legends Draft NHL, the parody game where famous people play hockey. A World Cup winner with a record haul of Ballon d'Or awards and a low center of gravity that defenders never solve. A center who carries the puck through three players and slides the pass to the open man.
