Charles Barkley continues to bridge the gap between his high-profile sports media position and the everyday fan, contributing significantly to his charm.
A regular on Inside the NBA and an avid hockey enthusiast, Barkley’s passion for hockey led him to Western New York this past Friday to catch the SUNY Fredonia vs. Plattsburgh State game at a quaint and cozy arena. Recognized by fans, Barkley happily posed for photos with supporters of the Blue Devils in what seemed like a spontaneous, Bill Murray-like appearance.

Seemingly inspired by Barkley’s attendance, SUNY Fredonia secured a 2-0 victory over the visiting Cardinals. The festivities continued at a local bar, which saw a significant uptick in business thanks to Barkley’s generosity.
At one point, Barkley took over the mic to celebrate the victory and announced that all drinks were on him during the time five of his favorite songs played over the bar’s speakers.
Indeed, for those present, it was the makings of a perfect Friday night, a sentiment echoed by the roaring cheers of the crowd.
My nephew goes to snowy SUNY #Fredonia. He isn’t quite sure WHY Sir Charles was at a hockey game there last nite, but he – and everyone else – sure were happy about THIS happening at a local saloon!
Props to you, Mr. #Barkley. This is how you win over a town. pic.twitter.com/NbaYrQZQSE

Following this celebrity boost, the Blue Devils clinched another 2-0 win on Saturday night. If they maintain this momentum, they’ll have a definitive season highlight, well-documented and celebrated.
