Everyone knows Dierks Bentley is a big hockey fan, even playing in a local Nashville amateur hockey league (his team was named the Iceholes). So, when an NHL charity game popped up in St. Louis, he jumped at the chance to don the blue and white St. Louis Blues jersey.

Dierks was awarded a penalty shot and scored in the Blues Alumni charity hockey game to benefit cancer research. Proceeds from the game were donated to the Jimmy V Foundation to benefit cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis.

“(Awarding me) the penalty shot was questionable, but we’re not gonna talk about that, we’re gonna talk about the goal,” Bentley told stlouisblues.com after the game. “It was a nice little move from left to right to get him to split, so I got the five-hole goal. At first I thought maybe he was being nice and letting me have the goal, but upon further review it looks like he was actually really trying and it was a legit goal. It was pretty cool for me to score a goal in the presence of all these NHL greats – definitely a career highlight for me.”

Dierks has a few dates on the book this month before his Gravel & Gold Tour returns to the road June 7th in Fort Worth, Texas.
