The best name of hockey championship (Group A)

[WatchfulElm]

Let's find out what is the coolest name of hockey ever. Here are the rules :

1- Users were allowed to nominate a maximum of 3 names. The step is over.

2- This is about finding the coolest names ever to play the game, no matter in which leagues, no matter if he's known or not. As long as we can find the player on hockeydb or eliteprospects.

3- What is a cool name? It's a unique name! It can be unique because it sounds great, because of the meaning, because of the length, because it's funny or because of how much it fits with the player style, etc.

4- We now have 160 names. I divided them in 8 groups of 20 names. You are allowed to vote for your 5 favorite names on each group. The 10 with the most votes will go to the next round.

I can already imagine what the over-the-top action movie would be like with characters Sam Steel and partner Blade Jenkins.

 

[tony d]

Hakan Loob, Greg Mckegg, Sandis Ozolinsh, Andreas and Odie Cleghorn.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I think Hunter Skinner and Bear Trapp would get along...

 

[biturbo19]

Would Ziggy Palffy do better as "Ziggy" or as "Zigmund Palffy"?

 

[KevinRedkey]

Off the top of my head, here are a few names that are better than many of the ones on the lists:
Bobby Brink
Karlis Skrastins
Saku Koivu
Dustin Byfuglien
Roman Cechmanek

From Group A, I voted Greg McKegg. It totally sounds like a has-been former frat boy who's now 40yrs old and wants to hang with the college kids. lol

 

[WatchfulElm]

Apparently, the mods can censor names. I'll have to replace a few names with new ones.

I'll probably go with Tiger Zhang, Paul z, Karlis Skrastins and... ?

 

[Leonhard Euler]

How is Miro Satan not on any list? Or am I blind?

 

[SharksAttack]

How is Miro Satan not on any list? Or am I blind?

Group F #6

 

[Howie Hodge]

Zarley Zalapski

Git er done....

 

[Voight]

McCool is the last name every 7 year old wishes they had
