Ping Pong. Beards. Hockey players making funny faces in street clothes. And it’s all to benefit charitable organizations.
Dominic Moore’s Smashfest V took place on Thursday, with Patrick Eaves and his freakish facial hair taking the top prize for the second year in a row.
Here’s a shot from the happy, bearded winner from the NHLPA:
He did it again! Congrats to back-to-back champ @Patrick_Eaves! #SmashfestV pic.twitter.com/tq5M7Oqdjn

(His loved ones must be thrilled that this isn’t merely a playoff look for Eaves, by the way.)
This shot of Jeff Skinner and his “most improved” award is just too fitting.

It’s not yet clear exactly how much money was raised for charity, but this is a sign that the event was probably ... well, a smash success.

Good stuff. Here’s a random hodgepodge of other photos from the event.

Bonus points to Hall of Famer Eric Lindros for the “beer in other hand” form:

Alex Burrows fell to Eaves in the final round. Seems OK about it:

This ball rolled at my feet during #SmashfestV. Patrick Eaves signed a ball for Alex Burrows. I gave it back to him. pic.twitter.com/2twP9FYgyT

Antoine Roussel was probably not being a pest on this occasion. We can’t be totally certain, however.

Looks like it was a good time for all.
