This Emote is a small way for hockey to become recognizable to new audiences and any exposure to this large a group is a positive for the sport. This is the first hockey related animation in Fortnite, there had previously been a hockey arena built in Fortnite Creative [https://www.fortnite.com/@skttlz/4591-5067-9039], and a hockey puck toy that was a reward all the way back in Season 1.
