Any day I can bust out the ever-rare PITB feature “Weird Crafts” is a good day. The feature has focussed on the weird and wonderful ways Canucks fans have celebrated their fandom with arts and crafts supplies.

Some of those crafts have definitely been weirder than others. PITB has featured Canucks-themed garters and pasties, legally-ambiguous Canucks-jersey-wearing Hello Kitty pendants, and a seven-foot-tall hand-sculpted wooden bear wearing a Canucks jersey that also double as a whiskey cupboard. This time around, the craft is a little more cool than weird. Literally cool: it’s a cooler.

Brock Boeser has been spending some time at the lake this summer, at least when he isn’t racking up points in Da Beauty League. His Instagram and Instagram Story has been full of videos and pictures of him enjoying lake life.

Of course, a day at the lake isn’t complete without cold drinks. And for that you need a cooler. But why have just an ordinary cooler when you can have a cooler inside a handcrafted wooden Canucks enclosure?

That was apparently the thought process for Brock Boeser’s uncle, who did a little woodworking to customize a cooler with his nephew’s name and number.

Boeser shared a video of the cooler to his Instagram Story, demonstrating one of its main features — it opens and closes, which is a very important feature for this type of thing — but you can see a couple other features as well.

First, there’s the handle, which appears to have been made out of a hockey puck. Then there’s the built-in bottle opener emblazoned with a Canucks logo. On the side, there’s a drain built in to the enclosure, with a faucet painted in Canucks blue and green.

Altogether, it’s a nice little design. It looks like he took inspiration, if not direct instruction, from this DIY YouTube video.

The star of the show, however, is the woodburned Canucks logo and Boeser’s name and number on the lid. It all looks authentic, with the right font and number style. It looks like he used an actual Canucks jersey to create the stencil.

With the DIY video above and some stencil work of your own, you could create your own patio cooler enclosure to keep your drinks cold.
