Hockey cellys are just a part of the game as much as scoring goals and banging bodies. Obviously some guys keep it pretty subtle but some of the most iconic shots in the history of the sport come down to cellys. Obviously Bobby Orr's "flying goal" is one of the most iconic photos in sports period, but Artem Anisimov's sniper celly that caused a scrum is an infamous moment in the sport. The Jagr Salute, Selanne's duck hunting celebration, Tiger Williams riding the stick--celebrations are a huge part of the game and while I don't think everyone is going to be defined by their celebration, they're undeniably iconic. Now, that said, I think the idea of someone having a "signature celebration" is kind of lame. The whole point of a celly is the excitement and adrenaline in the moment, and to have some sort of a practiced celebration just feels a little extra? Especially given the most iconic cellys, save the Jagr Salute, really only ever happened *once.* Would Anisimov's sniper be as iconic if he did it constantly? Would Selanne's duck hunt be one of the most iconic celebrations in the sport if he did it every time he scored a goal? Obviously not.

Keep celebrating.
