Anyway, looks like Cory ###### never played a game in the NHL - never even called up by the Flames once.

I could have sworn he played. Oh well.

I remember having a Tony Hrkac hockey card as a kid where the back said his name "rhymes with circus."

Peter Taglianetti sticks out in my mind, if only because my Dad used to yell: "Too Many Men!" at the TV when he was on the ice.

(...Peter, Tagli AND Eddie...)

Reddit did a big thread on this a while back, they weren't all NHL players though. A couple notables:

Jimbob Ghostkeeper
Bruno Mraz
Dit Clapper
Jerzy Christ
Bear Trapp

Back in the 90s when Anna Kournikova was dating Federov I used to tell people they broke up and she married serguei krisokravsov of the flames. She was going to hypenate her name and become Anna Kournikova-Krisokravsov. Now that's a name!

Came in to say Lance Pitlick, but somebody already said his name. How about Sergei's brother, Fedor Fedorov?

Has no one said Alex Semin yet??

Also,
Jean Luc Grand Pierre. You think he has a big Peter?

John Madden and Paul Martin were good too.

It's not "puke". "Puk" is "fart" in Russian, which makes his name even funnier...

And "zele" comes from the word for green I believe.
