Question: What's in a nickname...or better yet, what the heck happened to NHL nicknames?

Quick quiz: What do Vincent Lecavalier, Jarome Iginla, Henrik Lundqvist, Joe Thornton, and Martin Brodeur have in common? Aside from being top-flight NHL stars, these players lack in nicknames!

For decades, a hockey fan can rattle off nicknames of their favorite players with ease. Mr. Hockey (Gordie Howe), The Rocket (Maurice Richard), Boom-Boom (Berine Geofferon), The Great One (Wayne Gretzky), and Le Magnifique (Mario Lemieux) were quite common and fun to associate with said players. However, since the mid-1990s fans and sportswriters have virtually punted when coming up with colorful monikers. "Sid The Kid"? Is that even going to be effective when Sidney Crosby is sporting grey hairs? "Alex The Great" What an unoriginal nickname for an amazing hockey talent in Alex Ovechkin.

Your mission is this: What happened to good nicknames, and if given the task to come up with a nickname for your favorite player, what would it be?

Answer: Holmstrom is the *garbage man*

The trend seems to be to shorten names. Iggy, Ovie, Dats, and so on.....

Question: Who is your fave Aboriginal NHL Hockey Player of all time?

In the 70's, George Armstrong (aka "Chief") was captain of my favourite hockey team - the Toronto Maple Leafs and they even won the Stanley Cup at that time! Right now, Cheechoo is my fave.....last seasons Maurice Rocket Richard trophy winner!!
Habitant, you are SO knowledgeable. I must correct myself - Mr. Armstrong was the last captain of the Leafs to hoist that Cup over his head - am I right?
...and that was in 1967?

Answer: Gino Odjick!

Formerly of the Vancouver Canucks and played during the '94 run to the finals.
