Joe Pavelski Is Hockey's Ageless Wonder. He's Also Its Most Feared Golfer.

It was 2003 or 2004—the year doesn't matter much—and Joe Pavelski and Matt Fornataro were teenagers playing golf with Waterloo Black Hawks teammates at Sunnyside Golf and Country Club in Waterloo, Iowa. It was a close match, Fornataro recalls: back and forth, with plenty of smack talk. “Then the final three holes, Joe just went silent,” Fornataro says of his childhood friend. Pavelski birdied the 422-yard par-four 16th.
