Favourite NHL players from Vancouver Island

[Stive Morgan]

Was thinking about this earlier today and figured I'd make a poll for fun. I'm not originally from the Island, (rather Montreal) but spent about 20 years of my life there.

Not the BEST, but your FAVOURITE. Choose up to 5. You can weigh your decision on their Junior play if you wish. It's just for fun.

Not sure we needed this.

Not sure we needed this.

That's why I said it's just for fun twice in the OP, genius

For it just being about fun you seem awfully combative.

Well I guess ya got me thurr

If he didn't like the poll, he could've just ignored it and moved on. It was a negative and unnecessary comment.

No Rod Brind’Amour or Doug Bodger? How about Wayne Bianchin and Willie Mitchell

Geoff Courtnall AINEC

Olaf Kolzig is from Vancouver Island?

Born in South Africa to German parents, grew up in Union Bay, but never applied for Canadian citizenship and ultimately represented Germany internationally.

Matt Irwin and Jordie Benn.

 

[SotasicA]

Reekie, Matt Irwin and Wham Bam Cam.

I mean, Kolzig seems like a stretch. A South African born German national? I voted for him anyway. But that's not exactly completely honest polling.

To be clear, this isn't greg Adams who went to the cup finals in the 90s with the canucks, it's a different Greg Adams.

 

[M2Beezy]

Only heard of Jordie Benn but I dont really like him lol

 

[Chairman Maouth]

First player I thought of was Willie Mitchell.

 

[JoeMc]

Missing a lot of great players. I have always associated Cam Neely with Maple Ridge.

 

[Lawzy]

Only heard of Jordie Benn but I dont really like him lol

Of the players listed... you've only heard of Jordie Benn? What?

 

[Kelly]

uhmmm what?

You may know Jordies brother, Jamie? Heard he's a decent player. Tyson Barrie? Courtnall? Neely? Kozlig?

Buddy, if you don't know these players you're probably on the wrong forum.

Didnt see Benns brother or Barrie, yeah i know of them too but not a big fan of either. Neely i guess too the guy the Canucks shouldnt have traded for some pucks but thats FAR before my time pal

 

[Matt Ress]

I feel like I would appreciate G. Courtnall more if his name wasn't spelled like an Ashleigh. Joe Reeks takes it.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

"Back at the line to Babych - long shot Potvin had trouble with it......"

So many players missing off this list including many high profile players.

Robin Bawa, the first NHL player of south asian descent, would be one of them along with the several others already mentioned.
