Best All time Hockey Names

[Dave Hahn]

Wheaton King, played in the WHL for the...yep, Brandon Wheat Kings.

 

[Otto]

I always thought Brandon Mashinter was a rather painful name

 

[Beast Mowed]

My all-time favourite individual name is still Quade Lightbody.

My favourite group of names has to be:

Corey Pecker
Ryan Held
Trevor Daley
Brad Boyes

So, whenever they were on the ice together, you had Boyes Held (someone's) Pecker Daley.

That post right there should have killed the thread!

Still have my Pecker Power shirt & bring it with me everytime I think Corey is going to be in the building. (yep, it still fits!) Will never forget showing up at the Memorial Cup in Guelph during warm ups with the shirt on. You should have seen the look on Corey's face, priceless!

Classic.

And all from the same time period.

 

[Ward Cornell]

Wasn't there a defensive pairing (Kingston?) of Alcock and Brown?

 

[Whalers Fan]

John Vigilante was always a favorite of mine when he played for the Plymouth Whalers.

 

[ZinErie]

I believe he passed away about 10 years ago in Parry Sound when injured on a construction site.

As I recall, he tragically died saving his son who fell off a tractor, combine or some other farm equipment.

From wiki....

He was killed in a vehicular accident on July 11, 2000. Tabobondung's son Tommy fell from a road grader that they were riding in, and Tabobondung was caught under the machinery in the process of saving his son's life.

Murray Wing played for the Red Wings and was a point-a-game player. Ok Ok, he played one NHL game and had one point.

 

[ZinErie]

Erie had defensemen named Holden and Cook. Always fun to listen to the broadcast when the Otters played Owen Sound and Holden Cook.

 

[core33]

Always liked Whynot from the 67's.

And Tabobondung played for Oshawa.

 

[CharlieGirl]

John Vigilante was always a favorite of mine when he played for the Plymouth Whalers.

That one came to mind for me too - love his name. And perfect for the player's style!

I feel the same about current IceDogs Knott and Dunn. Need to quickly find a kid named Yet

 

[MrCheapGuy]

Cody Alcock was not a dman. But he did play for the Fronts but was in fact drafted by the Belleville Bulls.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Remember when Smirnov and Pear Juice played on the same team. Always was surprised they didn't have better on ice chemistry.

Merlin "the magician" Malinowski and Zarley Zalapski played on the last Canadian Olympic team before they started taking nhl'ers.

 

[HowDoIHockey]

Tommy Wingels sounds like an adorable cartoon character.
David Schlemko is fun to say when you exaggerate mouth/saliva noises.

Also, Don Cherry's mispronunciation of Luongo always makes me laugh.

 

[AK87]

There was/is a guy in the Frontenacs system and his last name is Emelifeonwu still to this day I have no idea on how to pronounce it properly.

But my fav current NHL name is BOONE JENNER
