Here are some I like

Claude "Turtle" Lemieux

Personally, I've always referred to Brett Hull as "The Chubby One" (Hmmm, "Slug Man" might be more appropriate)

Being kind of a geek, I always thought it was cool Igor Larionov was
"The Professor" (Dude, Isn't that the boss guy of the X-men?)
Of course, "Yoda" would've been cool as well
:handclap:

Olie the Goalie has always been one of my favorites (Olie Kolzig, of course). Also the 'Russian rocket' is always a favorite too.
