Tyler Seguin had an eventful offseason, but one of his most iconic moments was his ESPN Body Issue photoshoot where he used a rubber ducky to cover up his more sensitive bits. The magazine was all in fun, but now Seguin is worried the repercussions of doing such a famous photoshoot will follow him into the NHL season.
"I’m already worried about the rubber ducks being thrown on the ice," Seguin said in a recent interview with Puck Daddy. "I already told them I don’t want rubber ducky giveaways. I don’t want ducks on the ice every time I have a hat trick."
Seguin said he posed with the rubber ducks because much of the issue was done in a serious fashion and the photographers were looking for one funny subject, so Seguin said he would be willing to do a more lighthearted pose. Thus the rubber duck modeling was born.
Seguin is known as a very outgoing personality in Dallas, so it is not too surprising seeing him willing to pose naked for a magazine, but Seguin did admit that the job was a little intimidating.
"The day before the actual shoot, I was thinking if I could get out of it," Seguin told Puck Daddy. "I was a little nervous, and it was the day before I was going to Europe for the world championships. The first 15-20 minutes were a little awkward, but it got easier."
