Top-10 NHL Nicknames

[doniceage]

Most nicknames in hockey are pretty basic; teammates call Buffalo netminder Ryan Miller “Millsy,” while the boys in Chicago refer to Patrick Kane as “Kaner.” But over the years, hockey has given us a lot of memorable alternate (and more elaborate) monikers for some of our favorite players, from Maurice “The Rocket” Richard to Alexei “The Ukraine Train” Ponikarovsky. Here’s a list of some of the best nicknames in the NHL.

#10 – Ed Belfour – Eddie the Eagle
