OK. I sat on the sidelines of this thread since I figured that someone would mention this name immediately.....to my surprise, (Or more to the fact that I'm closing in on 30, while seemingly that makes me ancient on these boards) no one thought to mention the all time great hockey name........


.......GARTH BUTCHER!

His name is legendary in the great name queries.....

Here are some classic Minnesota names, nothing unusual about the first names, but the last names are cool.

Aaron Miskovich
Dave Spehar
Alex Goligoski-already mentioned

I also like Jakub Kindl (sp?)

 

[CapitalPunishment]

Exactly my thoughts.

Alexander Semin, with Jim Cummins and Alexei Semenov
Dick Tarnstrom and Karl Dykhuis on defence

Garth Snow in goal.

*Jared Seminoff as a reserve*

What abouy him ?

 

[Streaker-man]

Terry Yake
Gino Odjick
Darren Puppa
Raffi Torres

 

[gameface]

I agree with Garth Butcher. The name fit the guy; he looked like a henchman for some Italian-American criminal enterprises

Two others that come to mind are Sheldon Kannegiesser and Xavier Majic. Don't think Majic ever made it to the NHL but he was drafted by the Canucks. Kannegiesser played for LA and Vancouver and a few others.

 

[Canada_87]

Actually, Lemieux translates to "The Better" Lemeilleur would mean "The Best"

I've always found some Czech names cool:

Jaromir Jagr
Patrick Elias
Radek Dvorak
Dominik Hasek
Martin Straka

Then there's always the Russians:

Ilya Kovalchuk
Alexander Ovechkin
Nikolai Kherdev
Nikolai Khabibulin
And for some reason Roman Voloshenko.

Others besides Canada:

Peter Forsberg
Mike Modano
Tony Amonte
Nicklas Lidstrom
Andrei Kostitsyn
Ladislav Nagy
Marian Gaborik
etc...

Then obviously the Canadians:

Joe Sakic
Steve Yzerman
Ryan Getzlaf
Dany Heatley
Braydon Coburn (reminds me of fire for some reason...)
Joe Thornton
Vincent Lecavalier
Shane Doan
Sidney Crosby
etc...

Now for the funny names:

Antti Laaksonen (hilarious )
Arsi Piispanen
Kirby Law (rofl)

(excuse my finnish spelling lol)

 

[mattihp]

Antii Laaksonen (hilarious )

It's Antti.


And it's not pronounced Laxonen as they say in NA.

When there are two of the same vowel in finnish, it's a long vowel sound, so it's laah -ksonehn

 

[mazmin]

He's not accomplished, but Blake Wheeler is a great hockey name.

 

[nahkasapeli]

Nothing to do with hockey, anyways in the NBA there was a player in the 70´s & 80´s called World B. Free

Hmmm... They have the wrong team for him. He was drafted by Columbus.

 

[Seachd]

Meh... The same sort of stuff could be said for every Finnish (or Swedish, Czech, Russian, etc.) name.

Anyway, my favorite Finnish name is Sean Bergenheim.

Anyway, my favorite Finnish name is Sean Bergenheim.

Just because the name isn't finnish, eh? =

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

Boo Ahl
The rest are drafted by the Penguins and my personal favorites:
Moises Gutierrez (out of place)
Nick Johnson (too easy).
These just sound cool
Lukas Bolf
Tomas Duba
Brooks Orpik

 

[Gophers]

I gotta throw in Lukas Kaspar

 

[Seachd]

Hey, don't get me wrong. I mean, Kevin Kantee is another good typical Finnish name.
