Hockey players' butts are too big for jeans: Alan May
Hockey players' butts are too big for jeans
Alan May Tweeted:
There's a reason you don't see hockey players out and about in jeans much.

"They have these small waists but they've got a big butt," Alan May enlightened Junkies listeners on The Morning Skate Presented by D.C. Lottery "And then they've got huge quads."
May, who last played in the #NHL pre-online shopping, says, although it was impossible finding jeans that fit back in 1995, it's still nearly as impossible today.
"You can't just order jeans, you've got to try everything on," he said. "And now the way these guys train, they're all like tennis players. Tennis players never look that big until you're in person. They're a smallish upper body and a huge core, big thighs, and hockey players are built a lot like tennis players now.
"It's a different game. It's all the explosive training they do. It's hilarious.
Guys cannot find clothes, and then when your career ends, all of it just disappears in the first year. Some guys get super heavy, but most of the guys just lose all their weight and all their muscle the first year they're done."
That's why you're more likely to spot a hockey player in a pair of Lululemons than a pair of dungarees.
Used to make fun of players wearing @lululemon when I coached, but their ABC jeans are the only options because they stretch everywhere!!— Alan May (@MayHockeyNBCS) January 10, 2019
First year I quit playing pro hockey, I’d be walking & my pants would literally fall to my ankles, after my a$$ became non hockey sized butt https://t.co/ksXQ7AQxdo
