Over the boards, past the scattered pucks and straight into some quick stickhandling: Zac Bell's ice test is not a gentle lap around the rink.

Wearing a POV camera at the NHL Heritage Classic, Bell flips the puck high into the air, follows it down and bats it on the bounce. Then he closes in on a waiting goaltender for a close-range move and shot. There is no spoken commentary, just the view from the player doing the work, followed by a look across the open-air stadium.

The Short has passed 100,000 views, with an estimated first-day audience about fourteen times Bell's usual Shorts start. His recent referee-themed uploads played with excuses and disputed calls; this one puts the stick skills and the setting first.

One of the busiest conversations beneath it starts with a straightforward question: how does Bell stickhandle that fast? Other viewers are looking beyond the puck, asking about the rink's glass or anticipating the outdoor game itself.

Bell has also posted a separate Heritage Classic skating POV, giving the stadium visit another outing on a channel whose hockey has previously traveled through a dealership and onto crystal-clear pond ice.
