Best Hockey Names

[Marns]

Thought I'd take the focus off Malkin's dislocated shoulder
This should be interesting if we get a good list together, there've been some classical names over the years.

• Peter Sidorkiewicz
• Wojtek Wolski
• Håkan Loob
• Mario Lemieux (only because when French commentators say 'he scores', it sounds like 'Il Emeiu'. Kinda ironic, if that's actually what they say

I just loved the sound of

Guy Lafleur....

Unusual? How about:

Orest Kindarchuk (my spelling mmay be off on the last name, but it is as it sounded)

And i always loved the sound of the Stastny brothers....especially with dave Hodge and Co doing HNIC

My favourite of all time is Zarley Zalapski.
Also, props to my man, Ron Tugnutt.
I'll think of some more later.

Wacey Rabbit
Robin Big Snake

Was Big Snake that Red Wing prospect from last year who made a big splash at training camp? If not, who was that, I remember he had a good name.

 

[Crosby87]

Yeah, he's the one.

Wayne Gretzky
Rod Brind'Amour
Jeff Beukeboom
Tie (Tahir) Domi
Theoren Fleury
Luc Robitaille
Patrick Roy

 

[Crosby87]

Bah, I was just about to post Beukeboom.

 

[Marns]

Tie (Tahir) Domi

That sounds so much better with the middle name.

 

[Crosby87]

Link Gaetz is another.

 

[-VC-]

Wayne Gretzky
Rod Brind'Amour
Jeff Beukeboom
Tie (Tahir) Domi
Theoren Fleury
Luc Robitaille
Patrick Roy

Roughly translated, Brind'Amour in French is 'a little love' or 'a bit of love'. Can't remember which one.

 

[Santos L Helper]

What about 'Kings' backup goalie....Yutaka Fukufuji.

Say that one real quick.

 

[AndSmithMustScore]

Rod Brind'Amour - always liked this name.

P.J Axelsson - sounds like the name for a swedish heavy metal guitarist.

Hannu Toivonen

J.CheeChoo - get out the train whistles TOOT TOOT

J.CheeChoo - get out the train whistles TOOT TOOT

Hahaha, that reminds me of one of my favourite players in the NHL. Jordin Tootoo!
Actually, Tootoo plays on the same line as Darcy Hordichuk, which is also an awesome name and also one of my favourite players.

 

[CheeChoo Train]

Lynn Loyns is the best name in the NHL - sounds like a female p0rn star.

 

[Roll Tide]

Darius Kasparaitis. It sounds like an awful infection.

 

[RickMylox]

I can't remember his first name but I always liked Vanbiesbrouck.

 

[jimmy_clement#8]

Heard it today for the first time, not bad: Nikita Alexeev

 

[Crosby87]

I can't remember his first name but I always liked Vanbiesbrouck.

John.
