I said Fukufuji. But the coolest first name would have to be Zdeno
The only North American name that can even compete with those weird European names would be Cheechoo, lol
Other cool names not included would be Maxim Afinogenov, Jarkko Ruutu, Miikka Kiprusoff, Antero Niittymaki, Mike Knuble, Teemu Selanne, Oleg Tverdovsky, and Lubomir Visnovsky (lotta -ovskys in the NHL haha) |

Yeah, and all the Finns' names end with -nen. And there have always been tons of players with -chuk names. |

Jussi Jokinen, especially if you want to pronounce his first name "juicy", just to spice it up a little. |

I imagine that Ryan Getzlaf is a hit at the comedy clubs.
also I imagine that Darius Kasperitus is allergic to friendly ghosts.
If we are going with all time though nothing beats Haken Loob. |

Yeah, Branko Radevojevic is another cool one (I added him). "Brank-o Rad-uh-voy-eh-vich" So fun to say! |

My all time favourite was: Frank Pietrangelo
I also liked Larry Goodenough and Zarley Zalapski.
But current names... and my new all time favourite... there is none better that: Miroslav Satan
A little fun fact for you. On the ESPM website, when you search for a player, the identify each one with a "stats id" number. Guess what Satan's is.... yup 666. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=666&out

You know it's pronounced Shuh-tan, right?
Another fun fact: In Slovak it's supposed to be spelled Šatan |

I bet the most frequently misspelled names are Miikka Kiprusoff and Antero Niittymaki. It's those double-I Finnish names, lol Actually Ponikarovsky's another bad one...who's Ponakarofski? And where is Pittsburg? hehe
(And Sydney is not Crosby's first name, it's a city in Australia ) |

Right, and Kariya was born in Vancouver, not Seoul hahahaha
I've heard that announcers always make fun of Pavol Demitra's name and say "Hi, my name is Pavol and it's nice De-mi-tra" |

How about a combination, like the Isles; Yashin, Asham, and Satan? Also used to have Kvasha. Maybe should sign Nash (Rick), Nash (Tyson), and Elias! |

Hey I don't know too many people who spell Lee as Leigh so I'm always pleased to find another Leigh out there. But to find out that my favourite hockey player shares my reasonably unique name is pretty cool. That settles it, my first born son will be named Jarome...my wife will kill me. |

I've always thought Glen Metropolit was the funniest. Just something about it. Although Fukufuji makes me laugh too

Ah yeah...good one. "Zbynek" looks like a random combination of letters produced from someone whamming a keyboard, lol. Gotta love Slovak...whole words with practically no vowels |

Leigh might you be Scottish? Or at least British? And Jarome's full name is fantastic!! "You are not your desktop wallpaper" |
