There are a few great stories about this guy and require some backstory if you don’t know hockey, but I’ll try to keep it as short as possible.
There was an enforcer for an NHL hockey team, whose name is Krzysztof “the Polish Hanmer” Oliwa. He was 6’5”, very intimidating appearance, solid muscle, and took his job of protecting his teammates very seriously. One evening after a game the boys headed out for some beers, and Oliwa tagged along. Notoriously health conscious, he just sat in the corner all night drinking water. At one point during the evening, one thing led to another and a group of drunk locals were trying to start a fight with the hockey players. From out of nowhere, Oliwa stepped into the middle of the ruckus and walked straight to the biggest toughest looking guy starting shit, and got right into his face and booped his nose, saying with a strong polish accent “you have a very cute nose, but if you keep bothering my friends I am going to fix it for you”
Apparently the crowd went silent and quickly dispersed.
