Verizon’s sports arena 5G doesn’t reach every seat

Funko POP! NHL Players Will Knock Out Your Other Figures’ Teeth
I don’t know much about hockey. I only recently moved to a cold weather state where hockey is a big deal. In my former home of Texas, it isn’t. Pretty much all I’ve seen of the game are highlights, and I assume that the sport is about fistfights more than anything. I see it as sort of like a poor man’s UFC fight on ice skates. But if you’re a fan of the game, you might want to buy your favorite NHL hockey player in Funko Pop form.
These little characters have the players in what I assume to be home and away uniforms complete with tiny little sticks and pucks. The goalies are wearing their pads but have no helmets on their heads, which means you can see their faces – at least right up until they take a miniature puck in the face.
The figures will be available this November.
