Drake Resurfaces 1997 NHL Commercial from His Childhood
Drake Resurfaces 1997 NHL Commercial from His Childhood
Over the weekend, Drake gave fans a rare look into his early acting days by posting a nostalgic gem on his Instagram Stories — a 1997 NHL Awards commercial featuring a 10-year-old Aubrey Graham.
The ad is a comedic skit spoofing iconic hockey goalies Martin Brodeur and Ron Hextall, showcased young Drake’s humor, charm, and early potential as a performer long before his rise to global superstardom.
In the clip, a pint-sized Drake puts on goalie gear and delivers witty lines in a mock interview, poking fun at the idea of goalies scoring goals — a subtle nod to Brodeur and Hextall’s rare ability to do so.
Though brief, the commercial is a time capsule of ‘90s charm and a reminder of Drake’s early start in the entertainment world.
Before Degrassi: The Next Generation, before the Grammys and chart-topping hits, there was a kid in Toronto making people laugh on TV.
Fans across social media were quick to react, calling the commercial “adorable,” “legendary,” and “peak ‘90s energy.”
For longtime followers of Drake’s journey, the resurfaced video felt like a full-circle moment — a reminder that even superstars have humble beginnings.
Whether you’re a die-hard Drake fan or just love a good throwback, this commercial is a reminder that greatness often starts small — and sometimes in a goalie mask.
