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. This step is over and can be seen here.
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 started Round 1 with 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.
5- I added a wild card group, made of players that finished 11th and 12th in voting in each group. There's 3 from Group D and Group H because there were ties for the 10th position, for a total of 18. I will qualify 6 of them, for a total of 84.
6- Round 2 is divided in 6 groups of 14 players (total : 84). 5 per group will go to the next round + 6 more from a wild card group (from the names that ended 6th and 7th), for a total of 36.
Here are the randomized groups (names in bold advance to the next round). These random lists have been made using this website :
