"Keeso is not a professional hockey player -- well, not in the traditional sense -- but a packed house on this Sunday afternoon in December chants his character's name from his hit TV show. "Shore-sy! Shore-sy!" The Bulldogs' cast, filled with former NHL and AHL pros, are playing an L.A. Kings alumni squad that features two-time Stanley Cup champions Jarret Stoll, Jeff Carter and Trevor Lewis."
"The Bulldogs are the senior AAA hockey team from "Shoresy," a spinoff of Keeso's Canadian cult-favorite "Letterkenny," and a team whose influence stretches beyond the small screen. NHL, MLB and NFL players are fans. "Shoresy-isms" have entered the hockey lexicon. In L.A., fans from as far as Sydney, Australia, line up more than an hour before doors open and come bearing gifts for the cast."
Jared Keeso skated out to chants of "Shore-sy" as the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs, a cast team filled with former NHL and AHL pros, faced an L.A. Kings alumni squad featuring Jarret Stoll, Jeff Carter and Trevor Lewis. The staged two-period game included fights, shirtless laps and a halftime shootout and ended 10-9 for the Kings' alumni. The Bulldogs stem from "Shoresy," a spinoff of "Letterkenny," and have influenced the hockey lexicon and fandom. The Shoresy Classic became an eight-game alumni series that sold 69,900 tickets, raised more than $100,000 for NHL alumni charities, and ran December 2025 to January 2026. Keeso kept a tour diary during the Classic.
