While there are a couple days off between the next game (tomorrow) I needed an article to fill the void for today. That means a fun article, and the one I have for you today is the nick-name game. I’m always fascinated with players and their nick-names so I wanted to get you all up to speed on the Ducks players’ nick-names so everyone is on the same page, and knows them all. I’m always surprised how many fans there are that don’t follow or know their nick-names.
1 – Jonas Hiller – Hillsy, Jonasty, Yo-Yo 4 – Cam Fowler – Birdman (Given to him by George Parros) 5 – Luca Sbisa – Sbis 6 – Ben Lovejoy – The Reverend 7 – Andrew Cogliano – Cogs 8 – Teemu Selanne – The Finnish Flash (Give your head a shake if you didn’t know that) 9 – Bobby Ryan – Bobby (Counts, it’s not his real name) or Silver (lovingly) 10 – Corey Perry – ScoreyPerry or Pears 11 – Saku Koivu – Unknown 13 – Nick Bonino – Bones 15 – Ryan Getzlaf – Captain Baldy (lovingly) or Getzy 23 – Francois Beauchemin – Franky, Boom Boom, or Beauch 25 – Brad Staubitz – Unknown 30 – Viktor Fasth – Fast 32 – Toni Lydman – Lyds 34 – Daniel Winnik – Unknown, but use #Winniking on twitter, a play of famous hashtag #Winning 39 – Matt Beleskey – Matty or Ski 40 – Jordan Hendry – Unknown 44 – Sheldon Souray – Shelly 51 – Kyle Palmieri – KP or Palms 55 – Bryan Allen – Shane Hnidy (Not seriously, it’s actually unknown) 65 – Emerson Etem – Unknown 67 – Rickard Rakell – RickyFor all players listed unknown, or any that have any other nick names left off, feel free to leave a comment so the list can be updated! These are the nicknames I know to be true. Thank you to the fans who already have helped put this list together!

My favorite is #55 – just because, LOL. Thanks for sharing a list for those who haven’t heard them or don’t know the nicknames. Great idea to post a list.

I’m pretty sure they call Beleskey “Ski”. And on a personal note I catch myself calling Jonas “Yo-Yo”. And I think I’ve bheard Palmeri called “Palms” before…
