A recent video of Vincent Arseneau is going viral across social media. The professional hockey player was videoed snapping his finger back into place after getting into a fight on the ice.
The incident happened in a game between the Syracuse Crunch and Laval Rocket when Arseneau was with a player on the Crunch.
The fight wasn’t too long, and once it concluded, the cameras followed Arseneau, who was in serious pain.
That’s when he held up his left hand, and the ring fingertip was completely bent. It looked like he was just trying to shake it off when he suddenly grabbed it and snapped it back into place.

“Tell me you’re a hockey player without telling me you are a hockey player,” said one comment.
“It just proves hockey players are the toughest around! Even football players wouldn’t do that!” said another.
“Soccer player would be going out on a stretcher with a life support team & sports psychologist,” joked a third.
“And basketball players will sit out multiple games with a “sore foot,” added a fourth.
There’s a very specific type of person capable of doing this without a second thought, and it’s no surprise that they play hockey.
