Best Names of all time

[Passchendaele]

Wheaton King (actually played for the Wheat Kings)

Nice.

 

[BMC]

Bates Battaglia

 

[Hardyvan123]

I know it's childish, but the best name has to be Harry Dick.

Childish was the first thing that came to my mind too as my ex wife really loved Craig Coxe.

Also Larry Goodenough was just that.

Ben Lovejoy is a current favorite.

Tie Domi is also a classic, who ever heard of a Tie or a Domi before him?

That and he was literally just a head on a pair of skates.

 

[Killion]

Bart Crashley

 

[kdfsjljklgjfg]

For awesomeness, I've always been partial to Dallas Drake.

For humor, he never surpassed the AHL level in North America, but Cory Pecker.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Maxim Afinogenov

Enrico Cicone

 

[ThankYouBasedGod]

Only made it as far as the OHL, but this has got to be the best hockey name: http://hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=59703

 

[Sadekuuro]

Link Gaetz

 

[mobilus]

Tie Domi is also a classic, who ever heard of a Tie or a Domi before him?

That made me think of Orest Kindrachuk.

 

[member 30781]

Kyle Cumiskey because his last name is a true statement.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

CLayton Stoner.

 

[mbhhofr]

Beaver Lick. Also, look who he played for.

I like the 1919 Sens, with names like:

Sprague Cleghorn
Skene Ronan
Clint Benedict
Punch Broadbent
Jack Darragh
Cy Denneny

Yeah, I have always appreciated the throw-back names too.

Guys like King Clancy, Dit Clapper, Red Kelly, Turk Broda, Newsy Lalonde, Babe Dye, and Toe Blake.

 

[yeah]

Very childish of me, but B.J. Gaylord makes me laugh.

 

[cynicism]

Some more

Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre
Pierre Mondou
Dan Daoust
Mark Napier

Not hockey, but Bastien Schweinsteiger is awesome

 

[Hurricane Hugo]

Darius Kasparaitis.

 

[DT77]

Yutaka Fukufuji

 

[saskganesh]

Merlin Malinowski
Garth Butcher
J. J. Daigneault
Toni Tanti

I always liked Michel Petit and Mike "oh no" Amodeo

 

[SomeDude]

Evander Kane, just sounds intimidating.

Also, the guy my user title and avatar refer to. Undrafted FA Alex Smigelski that the Pens signed this summer. When I heard his name it just sounded so fake. I'm still convinced it's just Alex Goligoski in disguise.

For some reason when I was a kid, I always liked Joel Otto's name.

 

[phxroadrunner]

Hartland Monahan, Orest Kindrachuk, Barclay Plager, Metro Prystai, Syl Apps

Hakan Loob,Helmut Balderis and Pete Peeters( Not that it was necessarily among the best but it just seems monotonous and unrealistic, so it's notable)
