Why is Tommy Lee Jones so good at playing hockey?

So he's one of the best hockey players in Canada from what my landlord tells me. How the heck he get so good? Wasn't the dude at one point a bus boy? How'd he go from serving drinking at Deny's to hitting pukes with rods? Dude is one hell of a guy. If I ever met him, I give him a hand of goo. Yes sir. Yes sir diddle bob fiddle nut sack planters plantations african slaves ftw...
