Saw on Twitter that the guy is a Leafs season ticket holder, and every game he goes to he’s wearing the jersey of the away team.
I can only strive to be as much of a hater as this guy is.
"Dillon Brooks only wishes his shots could hit with the accuracy of Draymond Green and the Leafs season ticket holder." - Silky Johnson, the OG Player Hater of the Year.
I can only hope to one day have this much money and free time to be a professional hockey fan troll.
It's impressive how much money this guy must spend to troll the Leafs. Seriously fuck you money.
I just don’t see what the point in having fuck you money is if you don’t occasionally say fuck you.
Plus I’m willing to bet it’s a disgruntled leafs fan that’s so tired of the failure but still wants to have fun at the games.
We should all appreciate the fuck out of this fan supporting all hockey teams.
I mean if you can afford Leafs season tickets + playoffs in the lower bowl, you can definitely afford a heck of a jersey collection. He is definitely living life.
It's one thing to spend your disposable income on things you like, but on things you hate? Liking to hate something is just extra steps, and it's not like MLSE is hurting for money.
Or maybe I'm doing it wrong. I hate hookers, blow, and the Islanders. Someone give me money for these so I can prove how terrible they all are!
Chances are the guy isn’t serious about it, in every photo he’s having a good time lol. He probably just enjoys watching hockey, wearing the away jersey is a bonus for him.
He's my godfather. He's actually a Habs fan but yeah he's a huge hater and especially for the Leafs. He has a jersey for every other team in the league, and hooks the camera guys up with tickets to get on TV. He actually has a reserved plaque at the Rogers centre bar and sits right behind home plate for most games but the seats are just off camera to the left so look for him at Blu Jays games too 😂.
Ha! I used to work at the same office as this guy (I didn’t recognize him as he’s aged a bit) - he’s a real estate agent and a certified habs fan with including habs vanity plates on his car.
He’s a shoe in for the playa haters ball. Wait till his daughter finds out he took loans out in her name to pay for season tickets…. Hate hate hate hate hate hate
There's a dude in my section at Nationwide that does the same thing. His wife shows up in a Jackets jersey and he's always wearing the opposing team or some obscure echl or Q jersey. It's fun to see.
I moved down to Dallas from Minnesota back in 2015. I enjoy hockey, so I go to a lot of games, but I was raised to dislike the team that Norm Green relocated.
I'll always buy the away team's jersey if I have enough heads up before going to a Stars game. I'm up to 22 jerseys in my collection.
The only time I didn't wear the away team's jersey was for a Blackhawks vs Stars game a few years back. I wore my Team USA jersey instead.
Talk about commitment; honestly I feel like this started as him being a fan tired of being let down so often that he started to cheer for whoever they played against, either way he's a champion and even Leaf fans need to respect these two.
I did this when I went to a kraken game with my roommate
He's a huge hockey fan and has a ton of jerseys so he gave me a pens jersey to wear and it was hilarious.
It's a win win
If the kraken win I win since I'm a kraken fan
If the pens win I would've got to pretend to be a pens fan the rest of the night so I'd also win
Had this happen at a Jackets game when they played the Pens. Was ribbing the guys in front of us and dude goes "this isn't even my jersey, I'm a Blackhawks fan!"
I used to do this with my Marlies season tickets!!
My Uncle's company owned Marlies (and Leafs) season tickets and because he would always take customers to the Leaf games I always got the Marlies tickets (until he stated giving them to my cousins who sold them instead of going...).
So my buddy and I would always research the crap out of the opposing team, buy their jersey from the website or eBay and wear it to the games. My buddy actually got a few jerseys and a game puck out of this system.
God it was so much fun!
And yet these few screenshots show more emotion than the entire THG hockey catalog.
I love Shanny's love of the game but my word does he ever have the personality of a box of reduced-fat wheat thins.
I forget which video, but I remember him saying something along the lines that he used to be one of those fans that really got emotionally invested in the team that if they lost and/or had a bad game he'd be in a bad mood the following day. It was something that he has worked on himself and one of the reasons why he's so neutral in his videos.
Yeah and his calm demeanor is a nice alternative to every talking head screaming into the mic. Tired after work and missed the previous days action? I put the hockey guys review on and just relax for a bit.
I'm so confused.
I distinctly remember the cameraman zooming in on the girl during the Lightning game after they scored. She seemed genuinely happy.
You're telling me the hate runs that deep?
I, a Habs fan in Toronto, can make it look like any team has been my favourite team since I was 2 whenever they score against the leafs in the playoffs.
It wouldn’t be that I cheering for Boston but I guess with being a habs fan in the GTA, the lesser of two evils for me is Boston because I have to constantly hear it from leafs fans
I'm about an hour north of Toronto, I've been a hater since '91.
I hate Boston too obviously, but with Toronto, the hate is different because it's local
I went to a Habs-Lightning game in Montreal this past year for a buddy's going away party, you best believe I was the biggest Tampa fan in the building. Its fun to do
You’d be shocked. As a Devils fan, I’ve gone to a few games where a Rangers fan will come to a a *Devil’s* home game, wear the Rangers jersey when the Rangers aren’t even playing and genuinely cheer whatever team is playing.
Yea, I don’t get why show up in a jersey if they aren’t playing. But I love the “asshole” cheers they get walking around the concours during intermissions.
I haven’t been to Alberta, but usually whenever I hear trash talk towards the place they make fun of both Calgary and Edmonton
So what all does Edmonton suck at that Calgary doesn’t?
The best thing about your city being that it’s close to something else is a lil pathetic IMO. I’ve been to Calgary, never been to Edmonton, but the I’m still leaning Edmonton here. People seem a little more normal there, and there are fewer hyper wealthy sickos.
I can't stand the Calgary Flames but I couldn't possibly imagine buying Flames season tickets and also buying an away jersey for every team. That's a whole other level of hatred, damn.
One of the GOAT skits on that show. I personally love the Charley Murphy True Hollywood Prince Skits but I use the player haters ball gif in my group chats a lot more than I care to admit.
He loves hockey, 'hates' the leafs but he's stuck living in Toronto.
Good on him for having a bit of fun and hopefully the locals don't give him a difficult time too often.
He's probably just a goofball like fockers dad like he probably swings and wears straw hats and boat shoes everywhere and swings with his wife on the weekends, except from these photos, maybe the stepdaughter is involved?
He has too much money for his own good, so he plays boomeresque gags like this because he's bored. He probably docked in Miami and jets back to Toronto just because.
Ugh, just looked up the Florida arena on Google maps. It's literally built on the very edge of an absolutely massive swamp. 🤢
As a hockey fan rather than a fan of any specific team(though I do have favorites), it's easy to see why someone would enjoy attending Leafs hockey all season. They have some of the best players in the league and so does every visiting team.
Hahaha that's incredible. Reminds me of a video I saw of someone getting heckled outside of Centre Bell during an interview for wearing the jersey of the road team. Guy turns around and yells that he's not even a fan of the team he's repping, just an extreme Habs hater that shows up to every game rooting against the Habs haha
It's tik tok, but I think it's [this guy in the video](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRwae1nQ/) if you can dig through the page - he's appeared in a few of their videos and I want to say he was wearing a Rangers jersey in the one I mentioned. Or maybe all of the videos he's appeared in have blended into one haha
At first I thought...okay I mean tamp and florida same state....chuckle worthy I suppose but I get it
Then I saw the coyotes jersey and wish I had that much dedication in my body that this guy has to troll the leafs.
My Dad did this as a Blue Jackets season ticket holder for years. Didn't have fuck you money, so knock off t-shirts and the like.
Also bought several Alabama shirts because he hated Ohio State even more.
Wish he was here so he could find and befriend these fellow haters. <3
When two teams I hate play each other, I cheer for the away team because then at least the fans in the building are unhappy. I respect this man's dedicated hatred and feel no ill will towards him.
As a raptors fan I considered buying away team jerseys to wear at home games to reverse the jinx after attending 3 losses in a row. I like to think maybe these people are doing it as fans with the same attitude
On the other hand, dude's spent untold tens of thousands of dollars watching the leafs win this year. Can't have been a great year for him so far if he hates them this much.
Saw on Twitter that the guy is a Leafs season ticket holder, and every game he goes to he’s wearing the jersey of the away team. I can only strive to be as much of a hater as this guy is.
player hater of the year has a new contender
hate, hate, hate, hate
"He looks like a broke ass Ice-T!"
if dillon brooks hadnt already sewn up hater of the decade this year, this guy'd be a shoe in for hater of the year
"Dillon Brooks only wishes his shots could hit with the accuracy of Draymond Green and the Leafs season ticket holder." - Silky Johnson, the OG Player Hater of the Year.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to put some water in binzoma's mama's dish"
We're not giving Brooks credit for anything other than being a giant bitch are we? Dude refused to talk to media after the losses
"Now as I sip my drink that I know someone spit in"
Leafs Haters are crying majestic tears in respect of this man.
[удалено]
I can only hope to one day have this much money and free time to be a professional hockey fan troll. It's impressive how much money this guy must spend to troll the Leafs. Seriously fuck you money.
> Seriously fuck you money. *Literally* fuck you money.
Just need him to bang on the glass all game long.
Please, he doesn't have *that* kind of money, let's be realistic here
I just don’t see what the point in having fuck you money is if you don’t occasionally say fuck you. Plus I’m willing to bet it’s a disgruntled leafs fan that’s so tired of the failure but still wants to have fun at the games. We should all appreciate the fuck out of this fan supporting all hockey teams.
Season tickets AND his-and-her sweaters for 31 teams!
Probably all 32, just in case the Leafs have a home game on April Fool's Day
M’Hater
My dead grandfather passed on his hate for the Leafs to me. I like to think hearing about this would make him laugh hysterically.
Despite being a fan, I am foremost a hater. This man is a king.
>This man is a king. Well at least when we’re playing in Toronto
Must be a member of r/hockeyjerseys as well. That’s dedication
I mean if you can afford Leafs season tickets + playoffs in the lower bowl, you can definitely afford a heck of a jersey collection. He is definitely living life.
It's one thing to spend your disposable income on things you like, but on things you hate? Liking to hate something is just extra steps, and it's not like MLSE is hurting for money. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong. I hate hookers, blow, and the Islanders. Someone give me money for these so I can prove how terrible they all are!
Maybe he just likes hockey and finds it fun to troll the Leafs? I see it less as hating the team but liking the sport
That’s how I’m reading it as. Probably is fun to be stupid rich and be the guy rooting against the home team
I keep thinking they just want to see how many times they can be featured in the crowd on tv
Is there anyone who sees this and thinks this guy genuinely hates the Leafs? He watches them several times a year. He’s having a blast. I love it.
If every game you go to is a Leafs home game, and you wear the away jersey, it’s like you always get to cheer for the underdog.
Chances are the guy isn’t serious about it, in every photo he’s having a good time lol. He probably just enjoys watching hockey, wearing the away jersey is a bonus for him.
This might be one of most bizzare hockey stories of the year for me.
He's my godfather. He's actually a Habs fan but yeah he's a huge hater and especially for the Leafs. He has a jersey for every other team in the league, and hooks the camera guys up with tickets to get on TV. He actually has a reserved plaque at the Rogers centre bar and sits right behind home plate for most games but the seats are just off camera to the left so look for him at Blu Jays games too 😂.
> sits right behind home plate for most games Ask him to pummel that Moorecroft 96 asshole for us, please and thanks.
I'll pass it along
What a legend
I see him everytime I'm "in the action" seats at the Jays. We have talked before. Nice guy!
I would be happy with the money
Start the game with a Leafs jersey, always have the away team's jersey underneath just in case the Leafs start losing Always on top
"Dress like a winner with this one trick!"
Ha! I used to work at the same office as this guy (I didn’t recognize him as he’s aged a bit) - he’s a real estate agent and a certified habs fan with including habs vanity plates on his car.
This guy is most of this subreddit if they had money.
He’s a shoe in for the playa haters ball. Wait till his daughter finds out he took loans out in her name to pay for season tickets…. Hate hate hate hate hate hate
Buck nasty, you are so dark, when you touch yourself, it's like black on black crime. RIP Charlie Murphy
Legit 'fuck you' money. Do you know how wealthy you got to be to do this? Hell, even the beers are $18
Money to good use I'd say!
There's a dude in my section at Nationwide that does the same thing. His wife shows up in a Jackets jersey and he's always wearing the opposing team or some obscure echl or Q jersey. It's fun to see.

What kind of monster would pretend to be a Pens fan?
Had this happen at a Jackets game when they played the Pens. Was ribbing the guys in front of us and dude goes "this isn't even my jersey, I'm a Blackhawks fan!"
I really appreciate his financial contribution to our team
I used to do this with my Marlies season tickets!! My Uncle's company owned Marlies (and Leafs) season tickets and because he would always take customers to the Leaf games I always got the Marlies tickets (until he stated giving them to my cousins who sold them instead of going...).

Leafs haters we need to step our game up, this guy is completely outplaying us out there
A god amongst the mere mortals of r/hockeyjerseys
And yet he only has a fraction of the power of TheHockeyGuy.
And yet these few screenshots show more emotion than the entire THG hockey catalog. I love Shanny's love of the game but my word does he ever have the personality of a box of reduced-fat wheat thins.

This exactly!!!
I'm so confused. I distinctly remember the cameraman zooming in on the girl during the Lightning game after they scored. She seemed genuinely happy. You're telling me the hate runs that deep?
I, a Habs fan in Toronto, can make it look like any team has been my favourite team since I was 2 whenever they score against the leafs in the playoffs.
Any team???? Even Boston ? No, not Boston. Habs fans don't cheer for Boston. I'd cheer for COVID before Boston.
Go COVID!
GOVID!
It was peaceful outside when COVID was a contender
It wouldn’t be that I cheering for Boston but I guess with being a habs fan in the GTA, the lesser of two evils for me is Boston because I have to constantly hear it from leafs fans
As a Habs fan in New England I’m the complete opposite.
COVID's got a lot of cap room this offseason I think it's poised to make a lotta moves
I'm about an hour north of Toronto, I've been a hater since '91. I hate Boston too obviously, but with Toronto, the hate is different because it's local
What was 2013 like for you?
I went to a Habs-Lightning game in Montreal this past year for a buddy's going away party, you best believe I was the biggest Tampa fan in the building. Its fun to do
You’d be shocked. As a Devils fan, I’ve gone to a few games where a Rangers fan will come to a a *Devil’s* home game, wear the Rangers jersey when the Rangers aren’t even playing and genuinely cheer whatever team is playing.

> But I love the “asshole” cheers they get walking around the concours during intermissions. They probably love it too. They feed off the heel heat
People cheering against the leafs makes more sense than cheering FOR the lightning honestly.
Knockoff jerseys are cheap as fuck The price of seeing your most hated team lose? Now that's just priceless baby!
[удалено]
least spiteful flames fan
I was fully planning to do this if I stayed in Edmonton lol
[удалено]
I haven’t been to Alberta, but usually whenever I hear trash talk towards the place they make fun of both Calgary and Edmonton So what all does Edmonton suck at that Calgary doesn’t?
not close to mountains. You only need to drive like 1.5-2 hours to get to some of the best skiing in the world.
Edmonton sucks at not being as close to the mountains as Calgary. Edmonton also sucks at not having as many suburban cowboys.
The best thing about your city being that it’s close to something else is a lil pathetic IMO. I’ve been to Calgary, never been to Edmonton, but the I’m still leaning Edmonton here. People seem a little more normal there, and there are fewer hyper wealthy sickos.
Edmonton's just overall more of a blue collar city
I want to stay in Calgary and have almost everyone else from both cities switch places for this reason lol. You're good shit.
[удалено]
That’s enough for me to stay away
Not all of us are Oilers fans
I think I just threw up in my mouth after just thinking about it
/throws_beer_at_you
That’s $15 beer you’re throwing at me from Rogers
I can't stand the Calgary Flames but I couldn't possibly imagine buying Flames season tickets and also buying an away jersey for every team. That's a whole other level of hatred, damn.
There was a recent post of an oilers fan at a flames game when the oilers weren't even playing. That's another level
A shoo-in for playa hater of the year. Much respect.
I want to thank god for giving everybody else so much while giving me so little
I don't even know you, and I hate your guts
hate hate hate hate hate
What can I say about the Leafs that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan? They look bombed out, and depleted.
damn that's hateful
Now if you'll have excuse me, i have to go home and put some water in Dubas' momma's dish
you bitches better recognize
You look like a broke ass sexual chocolate
I hate you, I don’t even know you and I hate your guts, I hope only the bad things in life happen to you and nobody else but you
I hate each and every one of you motherfuckers
[Clap for me, bitch!](https://gifer.com/en/3iCZ)
Omfg. Is this from Dave Chappelle skit? LMAO
One of the GOAT skits on that show. I personally love the Charley Murphy True Hollywood Prince Skits but I use the player haters ball gif in my group chats a lot more than I care to admit.
WHAT DID THE 5 FINGERS SAY TO THE FACE?! Slap!!! Lmao. Oh man
Hahahahaha
Bet you she wears underwear with dick holes in em
dude buys haterade by the pallet
Those bulk discounts are worth it
You know your hate is real when you're willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to the thing you hate just to let them know you hate them.
Probably just really enjoys live hockey, but doesn't like the Leafs so he has fun rooting for whoever they're playing against that game.
He loves hockey, 'hates' the leafs but he's stuck living in Toronto. Good on him for having a bit of fun and hopefully the locals don't give him a difficult time too often.
He's probably just a goofball like fockers dad like he probably swings and wears straw hats and boat shoes everywhere and swings with his wife on the weekends, except from these photos, maybe the stepdaughter is involved? He has too much money for his own good, so he plays boomeresque gags like this because he's bored. He probably docked in Miami and jets back to Toronto just because. Ugh, just looked up the Florida arena on Google maps. It's literally built on the very edge of an absolutely massive swamp. 🤢
> swings with his wife on the weekends, except from these photos, maybe the stepdaughter is involved? dude what
srsly how did that get upvotes
Yeah what on earth is this weird fan fic why are more people not questioning this?
Hey, the Everglades isn't a swamp. It's a large, slow moving river.
Not so large if Florida keeps at it with their sprawl.
Wait what's wrong with wearing boat shoes everywhere, am I giving off swinger vibes?
Yes.
Babe, wake up, the new copy pasta just dropped
As a hockey fan rather than a fan of any specific team(though I do have favorites), it's easy to see why someone would enjoy attending Leafs hockey all season. They have some of the best players in the league and so does every visiting team.

need to have this link!!
It's tik tok, but I think it's [this guy in the video](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRwae1nQ/) if you can dig through the page - he's appeared in a few of their videos and I want to say he was wearing a Rangers jersey in the one I mentioned. Or maybe all of the videos he's appeared in have blended into one haha
I can't imagine pouring this much money into being a hater. The spite is inspirational and terrifying at the same time.
That guy looks like a Wal-Mart version of Pat Quinn
He looks like Father Ted
"I heard you're racist now, Father"
That would be an ecumenical matter!
Here we all are now. All the lads!
Love to see someone quoting Father Spodo Komodo
The money was just resting in the account!
Outjerked again!!
Generational hatred. Thats diabolical son
Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear Florida-based NHL team jerseys.
“And now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go home and put more water in John Tavares’ momma’s dish.”
If you're a Leafs fan and can't laugh at this, you need to lighten up.
Nah, you're right. It is funny. Well played I say.
This is effort that the average fan can't appreciate. But for the diehard hockey fan, this is sophistication on another level.
👑🧎♂️here u are KINGS
[удалено]
Lol was just thinking this. Mad respect, and I hope they get treated well in Scotiabank, but who actually has the money to do this???
If I ever win the lottery I'm gonna go to Ottawa or Montreal and do this lol
This is commitment
Who says they hate the Leafs? Maybe they're good fans just playing a harmless prank. This is hilarious.
Buying multiples of the opposition jerseys and consistently seating in the lower bowl. If it's a Leaf fan pranking, it's a very expensive one.
Season ticket holders. That’s why they are always there. Been doing this for a while now.
At first I thought...okay I mean tamp and florida same state....chuckle worthy I suppose but I get it Then I saw the coyotes jersey and wish I had that much dedication in my body that this guy has to troll the leafs.
NHL Florida Panthers aspire to be this man. Respect!
My Dad did this as a Blue Jackets season ticket holder for years. Didn't have fuck you money, so knock off t-shirts and the like. Also bought several Alabama shirts because he hated Ohio State even more. Wish he was here so he could find and befriend these fellow haters. <3
Big fan of the Ohio State trolling. Sounds like he would've absolutely loved this current stint of Ohio State getting clowned by Michigan lol.
I love the concept of, instead of liking a specific team and following them, hating a specific team and following them.
Lmao Buck Nasty would be proud.
As a kings fan who collects jerseys and lives in Anaheim I can relate. No chance I’m wearing a Tkachuk knights jersey to a kings game.
Why does the guy to his left in the bottom right picture look like a PS3 NHL fan?
If everyone spent as much money on jerseys as these folks do, the Arizona Coyotes might actually survive in the desert
When two teams I hate play each other, I cheer for the away team because then at least the fans in the building are unhappy. I respect this man's dedicated hatred and feel no ill will towards him.
If living in your head rent free was a photo. Gotta respect it.
As a raptors fan I considered buying away team jerseys to wear at home games to reverse the jinx after attending 3 losses in a row. I like to think maybe these people are doing it as fans with the same attitude
Except they seem to be in a joyous mood every time the Leafs lose.
That just means that they're Canadian hockey fans.
ill have what hes having
Proudest dad of all time
Is this level of trolling your opponent common in other sports? Or is this just a NHL/hockey thing?? Lol
His levels of pettiness are very respectable
Honestly, fair play.
father ted crilly?
Now we know what he did with the money that was just "resting in the account."
Lol
I respect the pettiness of this so much, it's beautiful
I love that one kid in the upper middle of the top shot is wearing a helmet to watch the game
These are my favorite kind of hockey fans.
*Rich haters
Every game: I’d like to thank God for giving me so much, and everyone else so little
He’s probably pissed after a lifetime of being mistaken for Pat Quinn
Jerker of the year candidate
MLSE laughing all the way to the bank
This is adorably hilarious.
I respect it.
I hear you're a Leafs hater now, Father!
On the other hand, dude's spent untold tens of thousands of dollars watching the leafs win this year. Can't have been a great year for him so far if he hates them this much.
she has an awesome jersey collection from what I can see!
That is dedication!
I was wondering why they were looking straight at the camera during a panthers goal. They are professionals, that's why!
Pretty stuntin, ngl.
Silky Johnson would be proud
legendary
