I'll start the ball rolling with this one:<br><br>Reggie Miracle - 1983 Goalie Columbia Heights<br><br>And it was a miracle they made it that year! <p></p><i></i>

Though I still maintain my objection to the two-class system, the greatest thing that it has given us is the opportunity to watch a player from International Falls named Critter Nagurski. <p></p><i></i>

I recall watching the tape of the hill-murray/Cloquet game in '92 and the announcer (can't remember his name, gravelly voice, did the play by play for the movie, Mystery Alaska -- somebody help me). Anyway, he's calling the game, and says the following, "Dutch Barrett, we swear that's his real name". I always thought that was pretty funny. So, Dutch Barrett, great hockey name. <p></p><i></i>

MajinHockey,<br><br>You're probably thinking of Doug MacLeod, former North Star and Golden Gopher hockey announcer. Without a doubt, one of the great "homers" of all time. <p></p><i></i>

Butsy Ericksen (sp?) is my favorite name. <p></p><i></i>

I would have to say that Steve 'Pokey' Trachsel is my <br><br>favorite name from Duluth Cathedral back in '69.<br><br>Pokey was a great name for a guy who had plenty of <br><br>speed, skill and strength. He was about as 'pokey' as an <br><br>Amtrac Locomotive and had a shot like a bullet to boot.<br><br>He was the star of the Minnesota State Catholic High <br><br>School Hockey Tournament in 1969.<br><br> L<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 0] --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /alien.gif ALT="0]"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> E, SL<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> PSH<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> TER.<br><br>(...a legend in his <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> wn mind...) <p></p><i></i>

Bucky Flores- Roch. J.M. 1989 I believe. <p></p><i></i>

How about Huffer Christensen? His real name was Keith, but everyone just knew him as Huffer. From I-Falls, then went to UMD as a tiny, 5-foot-6 fireplug who was a magician with a hockey stick, and starred at center for UMD at the time UMD made the move to D1. He was a legitimate first-team All-American and WCHA scoring champion twice for UMD and later played pro hockey for the Minnesota Fighting Saints. He still lives in Duluth and sells cars at Kolar. <p></p><i></i>

I'm not making this up the book says his name was..<br><br><br>Dick Lick<br><br>Boy he must have had a rough childhood. <p></p><i></i>

This goes a ways back, but how about:<br><br>Buzzy LaFond-Int'l Falls<br>Gary Flasch-Harding <p></p><i></i>

There was a time when 'Gay' meant having a positive, <br><br>festive attitude. And great players named Richard were <br><br>usually known as 'Dick'. After the games many would go <br><br>to a local 'joint' to have a drink or two to rehash the <br><br>games or whatever. That was before the decline of <br><br>western civilization beginning in the sixties so I'm sure <br><br>that Dick Lick probably had a fine time shooting and <br><br>chasing pucks as his country was out kicking the crap <br><br>out of the Nazis and the Japs during his childhood. <br><br>Especially if he made it to the State Tourney back in his <br><br>day. Never was too fond of jerks that made fun of the <br><br>fine players who were known by their birth given names<br><br>such as Dick Lick, Dick Purpur (GFRedskins), Dick Gramer <br><br>(CCathedral) , or even Dick Nixon...( President of the <br><br>United States). One of the greatest linebackers in the <br><br>NFL was named Dick and he would probably have had no <br><br>trouble at all kicking your (_!_)ttkus if you tried to <br><br>demean his legacy by attaching some tacky innuendo to <br><br>his good name.<br><br>L<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 0] --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /alien.gif ALT="0]"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> E, SL<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> PSH<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> TER.<br><br>(...a legend in his <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> wn mind...) <p></p><i></i>

Kraft and Cullen from Moorhead rank up there as some of the top names. <br><br>Wyatt smith is another one. I still remember in 94 the state tournament, a slapshot from the point deflecting off his stick into the net to give warroad the win in overtime. <p></p><i></i>

i believe Mr. Lick is still around and doing well in ssp. he was a very good player as was all the Lick's.<br><br>i always liked the name:<br><br>chick yackel <p></p><i></i>

Rob Ohno from Jefferson has to be one of the best. <p></p><i></i>

Just another dick for you, i beleive one of the greatest youth hockey coaches ever. Over 1000 wins in his 30 some years, he made roseau hockey players respectful. A hard ass you dont appreciate till you are done having him as your coach. <p></p><i></i>

I won't even say it but you get the picture. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>This Richard Head, though everyone calls him Dick, has <br><br>got to be the most elusive player in the history of the <br><br>state. He's played in a heck of a lot of games that I've <br><br>been to but I've yet to pin down his number. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :\ --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ohwell.gif ALT=":\"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Everytime someone scores I hear the fans yelling out his <br><br>name but he's never the one announced as the one who <br><br>scored the goal or made the assist.

Kind of like the George Forman <br><br>approach to siblings of the same sire especially when it <br><br>came to sons. All I know is that this kid never graduates <br><br>or he has a lot of cousins or brothers or both, that play <br><br>throughout the state of Minnesota because I hear his <br><br>name at almost every game. And that's why I can't tell <br><br>you exactly what team he's on.
