[Jadenb]

I’ll start it off with Buddy Nugent-Hopkins of North Korea.

 

[SlimCharles]

Oh man I've found some funny ones, I think I saved some screenshots I'll have to check. One guy had "lol" in his name, NHL 17 though.

 

[Jadenb]

Cedrique Tapper, cool sounding name.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Ronald Burgundy

Cristiano Nakamura (Spanish Japanese guy?)

 

[Clode]

I have a guy with the last name "Jon lol". He's pretty good though, stole him in the 6th round with low elite potential and hes already an 83 at age 21

 

[Jadenb]

There’s been the McMuffin saga in my GM Mode experiences twice.

 

[King Weber]

I had Tiny Getzlaf and Tiny Gionta on the same team in Be A Pro,

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Oldrich Jagr is the best I've come across

 

[Nugget910]

I seen Gord Dick on someone elses franchise mode. Lol

 

[Tak7]

Not mine personally, but someone here ended up with Sidney Ovechkin in NHL 15 or 16, and shared the screenshot.

Was from Japan...

Let me see...

NHL 14:
Tiny Baby
(heard of several people getting "Tiny Dick" but never saw it myself)

NHL 15:
Tom Toms
Jack Ast ("jackassed" -- he was a 36 overall enforcer)
Maurice Richard (DFD)
Frederick Doig
Rocky Strong

NHL Legacy:
Pat Patrick
Edwin and Edgar Olczyk
Tiny Froats
Bruce Bruce
Clinton Love
Pierre St. Pierre

NHL 16:
Jesus Parros
Tiny Legwand

EHM:
Derry Hermus
Kodie Petagumskum

Other funnies:
Russ Sigalet, a 1st round draft pick from North Korea
Tiny Froats went 1st overall and was from Romania
In Doig's draft year, there was also a South Korean in the top 10 - Nick Ricci.
But Doig was the best story; he was British, went 3rd in that draft, capped off at 95 overall and finished his career with over 1500 points.

 

[Jadenb]

Actually, I got a guy in 16 called Junior Olczyk.

 

[Nugget910]

this guy is coming out next draft and I'm the wings I kind of have to take him lol

 

[Nugget910]

I also have goalies yuri datsyuk gordie maltby Peter hossa and sven franzen for some wings ties lol

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Not from NHL 18, but some of my favorites were:

Maurice Richard, a 6'7 Power Forward from Belarus and Howard Howard, a 6'2 defenceman from Denmark.

 

[Trizz617]

I also have goalies yuri datsyuk gordie maltby Peter hossa and sven franzen for some wings ties lol

That would make a cool storyline. Like the 2nd generation (the kids of Datsyuk etc) coming through the pipeline

 

[ToppsSmith]

I drafted a guy named Tiny Spike yesterday

 

[OneManArmy]

I've seen "Tiny Toews" before. Oddly enough he was taller than than Toews.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Crazy how player generation has been broken for years..

 

[sandviper]

Tyrone Matsumoto, a 6’5 elite power fwd I drafted from the WHL.

Tiny Bachman, a 5’8 defensive top-4D.

Ralph Bouchard, a sniper from... Russia.

 

[Jadenb]

Wow, I didn’t think I’d get so many submissions. This really shows the cluelessness of EA. Who names their kid Tiny Dick or Tiny Spike, like what the hell?

 

[Gardner McKay]

There’s been the McMuffin saga in my GM Mode experiences twice.

I've also had a McMuffin. Dennis McMuffin.

Wow, I didn’t think I’d get so many submissions. This really shows the cluelessness of EA. Who names their kid Tiny Dick or Tiny Spike, like what the hell?

I'm guessing they just have a pool of first and last names that randomly get paired together when generating prospects each year.

 

[hobbsie93]

Harvey Farmer
Eric Jaqueezy
Victor Bootland
Harold Giftopoulos
Jimmy Smyles - He's from Montenegro

 

[I Eat Crow]

Jesper Bang

85 overall elite medium potential DFD from Sweden about 15 years into one of my saves drafted 13th overall
