Trivia[]

This variant is one of two hockey-themed All-Star variants, the other being the Goalie Star.
His weapon overheats the fastest out of all the All-Star variants because of his weapon's high fire rate.
The ZHL mentioned in his description is a parody of the NHL (National Hockey League).
The maximum number of shots he can shoot from his weapon before the weapon overheats is 47.
He is the only character in the Garden Warfare 2 Christmas promotional picture that is not an ice variant.
He is on the loading screen for the Yeti King Boss Hunt Event, despite not making an appearance there.
He, Rugby Star, and Tennis Star are the only All-Star variants that have hair without the use of customization.
His jersey number may be a reference to the film Christmas Vacation, where the main character Clark Griswold has a hockey jersey with the number 0.
In the community challenge "No Toxic Too Noxious," the vanquishes with this character helped complete the challenge, although he is not a toxic variant.
