Quinn Hughes plays Scooby to Elias Pettersson's Shaggy at Canucks Halloween party
On Thursday, the Vancouver Canucks had a ‘spooky’ good time at their Halloween party. Canucks alternate captain Elias Pettersson, captain Quinn Hughes and forward Brock Boesner dressed up as characters from the classic cartoon “Scooby-Doo” alongside their partners.
Fans got a peek at the fun through social media posts, including a picture shared by Brock Boeser’s wife Bella - a group photo featuring the crew of five - on her Instagram story.
On the evening, Brock Boeser played Fred from the cartoon - wearing a white collared shirt, blue neckerchief, and light brown pants. Bella dressed as Daphne in a purple dress, pink headband and green scarf.
Quinn Hughes brought the lovable Scooby-Doo to life in a full-body brown suit with a Scooby collar.
Meanwhile, Elias Pettersson played Shaggy who held Hughes - aka Scooby - in his arms. The former wore a green shirt, brown pants, and a wig. Pettersson’s girlfriend dressed as Velma in an orange sweater, red skirt, high heels, and glasses.
