"Super Mario" Mario Lemieux
Bonus points for the cute video game reference. Lemieux was almost like a video game character out there - he's considered the greatest player next to Gretzky and performed some amazing feats on the ice.

"The Golden Jet" Bobby Hull
This is one of the more classy, elegant names out there. Hull is a legend and old time hockey fans always remember him gracefully flying down the ice with his golden blond mane flowing.

Maurice "Rocket" Richard
A great name for one of the legends in the sport. Richard is considered one of the fastest men ever on skates and his nickname is the perfect description of how he looked on the ice.

Not the most clever name out there, but it was fitting. Grimson was an enforcer known for his violence on the ice.
