My name was influenced by hockey, although not after a particular player. My name is the French Canadian version of my father's Croatian name and was a popular name for French Canadian hockey players in the 1970s and 80s (less so today). When my parents came to Canada, they assumed that it was the Canadian version even though we lived in English Canada.
