We use quite a few nicknames around Hockey Wilderness, so if you’re new, don’t be afraid to ask what is going on when someone talks about Pizza having great hair or Narnia being demoted. You’re not alone. When I first started coming to Hockey Wilderness, I had no idea who was named what or why they were named that way. I could figure out some based on what people were reacting too, but others I had to ask about. With the recent addition of Teemu Pulkkinen, nicknames seem more prevalent than ever, and it begs the question: what’s in a nickname?
