WATCH: Morris County Kid Yanks Loose Tooth With Slap Shot
Alex had a loose tooth, and he wanted it removed the 'hockey way,' dad's YouTube video shows.

Alex Roslan of Kinnelon, New Jersey has a pretty mean slap shot. The six-year-old also has – er, had – a loose tooth.
In a YouTube clip that looks to have been filmed in the family’s basement, Alex’s father Chris proclaims, “Alex has a loose tooth, and he is committed to pulling it out the hockey way.” As Alex wiggles his loose tooth in front of the camera, his proud father continues, “This man is a real hockey player. He wants to take his tooth out the real hockey way.”

After a few false starts – Alex kept moving his head, which in turn moved the puck – the athlete took a swing, and the sound of the puck hitting the basement wall clangs in the background.
A quick gasp from dad, now operating the camera, and Alex proclaims, “My tooth is out!”
