'AGT' Season 17: Cline twins dubbed 'phenominal' after rocking the stage with hockey tricks

Connor and Carson Cline are identical twin boys from Ontario who do hockey stunts at the age of 16

The Cline twins impressed the judges with their incredible hockey puck abilities during the Season 17 auditions of 'America's Got Talent,' which aired on Tuesday, June 21, 2022. The twins might be one of the most unconventional performances on 'AGT' Season 17.

Connor and Carson Cline are identical twin boys from Ontario who do hockey stunts at the age of 16. In 2019, they appeared on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show.' According to their website, the twins have been chasing their gift for a decade, and they began posting on social media in 2014. Connor and Carson are Canadians from Waterloo.

The twins, who were just 13 years old at the time, assured the presenter that they would be performing "hockey tricks." DeGeneres didn't appear to understand what they were saying, but she quickly realized when Connor and Carson began twirling their hockey sticks and catching the pucks in the air. The Cline twins have since gained a social media following. They have over 60,000 TikTok followers and over 40,000 Instagram followers. They publish films of themselves performing different acrobatics, such as balancing bottles of maple syrup on their hockey sticks. On their website, the brothers also offer clothes that support their philosophy, “Be different and stay determined.” They intend to demonstrate to people “that anything is possible, and you can do anything you put your mind to.”

The Cline Twins, hockey tricksters, claimed their performance was unique and resistant to the judges' buzzers. Even if their personalities didn't pique the judges' interest, the twins avoided the buzzer by doing immaculate and coordinated routines with their hockey sticks and pucks. Simon compared them to "Beavis and Butthead," then said that it worked since he wasn't expecting much until they delivered a "fantastic" audition. The panel gave them four passionate Yes votes to advance to the next round.

Seeing the brothers perform such cool shots, fans hopped onto social media to urge others to watch the performance too. One fan wrote: "@animalsofhockey You watching AGT? Twins just did this incredible twirling hockey sticks & pucks, & balancing pucks...fast and really high." Another fan claimed that they haven't seen such a hockey performance before. They wrote:  "Twins kill it never see hockey performance like this COOL #AGT."

A viewer posted, "@clinetwins....That was phenomenal...they just done a act that has never been seen on @AGT, or TV period...Great Job fellas". One fan tweeted: "The twins were amazing . #AGT." Praising the twins for their hockey tricks, one fan wrote: "The Cline Twins were good I love the hockey tricks from them #AGT." However there were some who found the act boring, one such viewer tweeted: "Am I the only one that thinks the Cline Twins' audition is boring? #AGT."
