Jayinblack Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 My first thought everytime i hear Quinn is the song Quinn The Eskimo (dating myself here). These days you can't go with Eskimo, but Mo would've been what i'd have started calling him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 If we’re talking bad nicknames, trivia question former Canuck Victor Oreskovich comes to mind. His nickname was “Chestovich” (because of his physique), and that has to be one of the worst ones ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I’d like to see him succeed, it would make our team better but I’ve been a fan far to long to get excited about the future. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Quackenbush who played 1942 to 1956 Bob Beers Par Djoos Harry Dick Dave Snuggerud Yutaka Fukufuji who was a goaltender drafted by the Kings Harry was a super nice guy, He ended up becoming a teacher and taught in Lytton at one point. Had him for a couple of my classes back in like 99/2000 ish. Honestly some of my fondest memories from being in school were some of his classes Edited June 25, 2021 by beni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
