Given how violent the sport is, it's really amazing how good-looking hockey players are. Don't believe us?

The San Jose Sharks just signed 23-year-old Mantas Armalis, a male model who walked the runway during Milan Fashion Week.

In bikini briefs.

"Versace needs faces and bodies like Mantas," Donatella Versace herself remarked. "The strong gladiator-like build and muscular thighs."

Armalis, who is Lithuanian but was raised in Stockholm, was previously a goalie for Djurgardens in the Swedish Hockey League.

"We’ve been following his progression up the ranks in Sweden over the last few seasons, and he has consistently performed at every level," says Sharks GM Doug Wilson.

"He has a history of playing above his age group internationally, and we’re looking forward to him joining our organization.”

We're looking forward to perving on his Instagram. Like so.

And just to show we're not totally superficial, here's his hockey highlight reel.
