Wayne is mine. Dude’s my adult idol. Hope he can somehow return to the Flyers organization.

Growing up in the San Jose area in the 2010’s, Patty Marleau and Joe Thorton were two of my favourite players. I actually got to meet Joe Thorton once (sat by him at an AHL game), and he’s a super nice guy. My family ended up running into him again a few months later at a restaurant, and he recognized us and came over to say hi. Absolute class act, I’m still sad he never got a cup

Gretzky and Messier. The only reason I have a passion for hockey today.

Paul Kariya. Mainly because I’m from Maine and he was a key reason why the UMO Black Bears won the national championship and he was just a phenomenal player.

Im with Wayne. I grew up with Fedorov as my favorite player. That guy was a treat to watch.

Started watching the Bruins in the late 90s when I was 7/8.
I loved Sergei Samsonov, Joe Thornton and Byron Dafoe. I have a weird nostalgia for the late 90s/early 00s Bruins. I loved those rosters.

What an awesome quote. Wayne is an all-timer.

I *still* want to be Pavel Datsyuk.

For me its Alexei Kovalev. Guy had some of the silkiest mitts in the league. I tried and practiced to emulate his style when I played…usually unsuccessfully lol

Brett Hull

Hoss for sure. Best two way player I’ve ever seen and had absolutely mesmerizing stickwork

As a kid in the mid 90s and a Flyers fan, Legion of Doom for me.

Dale Hawerchuk. Despite my skills making me a mediocre defenseman, I really wanted to be a number 10 wearing centre.

Gotta be Jagr. Dude had the sickest mullet on those ’90s Pens teams!

Not my favorite team, but Jagr was always incredible to me.

Dominik Hasek. Nothing feels better than a sprawling save.

I grew up feeling a pressure to like an original six team and i chose the Hawks because it was the coolest logo in the opinion of a nerdy white kid in the great plains. Loved that Blackhawk was a real person and that the logo was his depiction. And so it should go without saying that Chris Chellios was my idol. Right shot defenseman who would scrap and play hard but man was he loud about shit. And so of course I got to watch tons of Redwing games too and it was impossible to not notice Vlad Konstantinov. Another right shot defenseman who was quietly incredible. His quality allowed Lindstrom to activate into great plays. He was quiet and brutal. I’ve always liked that kind of defenseman. I never really wanted to score a ton but o always really loved breaking up plays. I think Big Byf was the last one like this that I’ve really paid attention to.
