ESPN Bodies has arrived. This year, Brad Richard of the Rangers is representing the NHL.

Ummm… there is something extremely unappealing about a man playing hockey naked. And to be perfectly honest, this angle does zero justice to why they would have chosen to showcase Richards’ bod.
Last year, it was Ryan Kesler.

Yum. Yes. Fangirl moment. Completely tastefully done and exhibits his muscular form and figure well.
Who would YOU like to see from the NHL in ESPN bodies? Brigitte from One Girl, One Puck wants to know! (Follow her on Twitter @lafreak331) Check out her contest: Naked Face Off! She will see what player people would most like to see in next year’s ESPN Bodies issue.
Do it.
Bradley looks gorgeous in the video.
I, for one, loved this issue, and think aesthetically the photos are really well-made. Some of the stuff from the previous Body Issues was plain awkward.
The only thing that gives me pause about naked hockey? Skate blades.
