Non-french named players that speak french in the NHL

Goaltender Guy Hebert was American, but everybody used the French ennunciations of his name over the English that I think he just kind of gave up and went with it.

His middle name is Andre, so there has to be some history there.

By that same token are there players with French names who don't speak French? Ahhh...that's the question

Speaking of language... My boss just said the most Chiac thing I ever heard.

"Aye! Get travail'ing!"

That's actually interesting, I always assumed he was a stereotypical western Canadian farmboy.

Hamonic has an interesting, albeit sad, life story. ESPN did a feature on him this past year. He seems like a great person off the ice.
