There are a lot of them, but these player's just made the cut.

A player must understand the repercussions that come with joining the National Hockey League before he decides to turn pro. Sure, the extensive traveling and constant body achesis a lot to handle. But a player’s mouth is likely to experience some of the worst pain and lose a few chicklets along the way. With that said, here are some of the league's best smiles.

Brent Burns could be the biggest beauty in the NHL. He has a wicked beard, a gnarly Harry Potter Tattoo, and might have fewer teeth in his smile than Grandpa Simpson without his dentures in.

One of the game’s most entertaining players, Ovy’s signature smile can be seen from a mile away.
Duncan Keith
Can you recall when Duncan Keith lost seven teeth?

Yes, you’re seeing that correctly. Buff is actually fiddling around with his fake front tooth. Could that be any more of a hockey player thing to do?
Drew Doughty
that's quite the gap.
