Go behind-the-scenes in a day in the life of Joel Eriksson Ek with Becoming Wild presented by Toyota.

"My brother, I guess he was the younger one so he was the one who ended up being the goalie." Hockey families can relate.

[@chucker625]

He seems like a really nice kid from a really good family. Awesome to see Brodin show up for a skate at the end.

[@parandersson8032]

i like this kind of stories. most of them are so down to earth

[@chainsherlock6268]

I remember running up hills; that’s why Ek is beast!

[@KaptenAntonL]

Awesome to watch this because I'm from Karlstad too and I played in the same hockey club as Joel and his training partners. I even went to the same school as some of those guys!

[@feske96]

Wierd flex

[@lettucewin1203]

Well i guess the club and also the school has helped the guys oversea or european hockey pros to become who they are today.. So good for you man! And don't listen to petite humans like Fesk.. It is not a wierd flex if you are proud of going the same way as these hockeypros 🤙

[@lesliejarach5429]

Yet youre on youtube bragging about something these guys could care less about lol

[@nathanchen-mack6277]

love how they just show him jumping into the river three times in a row.

[@bBlandarN]

haha that was very fun

[@fredrikpettersson1406]

Great video!! Thx for sharing!👍 getting very close to his background and person is greate fun!

I really think pro hockey is the one remaining major pro sport I can still enjoy. The players are all almost totally normal, down-to-earth, and seem to appreciate and enjoy getting paid to play a game. There is no pretension. How many of them still live in their hometowns? How many of them are still in touch with their youth coaches? How many of them spend all summer fishing and golfing with their boyhood friends? It's sooooo refreshing. The guys in most other major pro sports are so friggin' full of themselves, have completely let things go to their heads. I just have no interest in watching some boring ego maniac making $15M a season play. Or, learning about his daily life. Who cares? Love how *most* hockey players seem like genuinely good dudes who are so low-key and just happen to be great at hockey. No pretention, no ego. You know these guys would gladly stop on the street and sign an autograph or just say hello. I mean it, it's incredibly refreshing in this day when we've elevated NBA players, tech CEOs, E! television "stars" to god-like heights. It's like...nobody has gotten to the guys in the NHL and said, "Look. You're rich now. You're famous now. You MUST act like a total a-hole at all times to everyone you meet and you must project a staggering level of narcissism. It doesn't hurt that so many of them are Canadians;) I don't think Canadians know how to be self-centered ego maniacs.

You Nailed it 🔥🔥, I definitely agree Forreal 💯

[@nayr497]

@@Luke-im8sv A little bit worked up there, but I honestly do mean it. The vast majority of these guys seem so humble, so genuine, so unaware that they're supposed to act like self-centered jerks. It's amazingly nice. I mean...Sydney Crosby still spends summers in his hometown/area right? And Wayne Gretzky! Guy could have let it go to his head, become some guy married/divorce 10 times, starting drinking and drugging after he retired, gain 50 pounds, totally checked out. Nope! In a culture that is now driven by a cult of faux personality across sports, music, entertainment...so many of these NHL guys profiled absolutely seem to be regular guys with some great talent (and tons of dedication and focus!).

Its funny, that you want to hide a brand of car (volant), but in the first picture, you can see it, that it is AUDI :)))

[@NODAK9]

They always try to blur vehicle manufacturers on these episodes being that Toyota is the sponsor 😉

[@martinpokmat2252]

@@NODAK9 But in this episode its not Toyota, believe me ;) Time, 2:32 ;)

[@NODAK9]

@Martin Pokmat I understand. Toyota sponsors these videos which is why they blur anything other than Toyota. Hope that makes sense?.. 👌

[@martinpokmat2252]

@@NODAK9 OK, But why the players dont have a toyota cars or they are heving but only they dont using?

[@NODAK9]

@Martin Pokmat Possibly the Players have individual contracts with other vehicle dealerships or manufacturers and/or said players may have clauses which stipulates endorsements with companies other than Toyota or subliterary corporations? Most likely however, the producers of these videos don’t want to risk losing their funding ($) from Toyota... ie simply not worth risking the contract. Just guessing but this would make sense.
