Puck Daddy: 10 Best NHL prospect names

Full article here. Humor doesn't depend on knowing anything about hockey. Some highlights:

6 | DYSIN MAYO
His first name is vacuum cleaner and his second name is a condiment. Come on now. Seriously, this is like what would happen if someone lied about having a boyfriend, and then, pressed to give his name, looked around the room and said things they saw. "Uhhhh... Cookies... Lagostina. Cookies Lagostina. He's Italian. Cookies is a nickname. His real name is... Blender... Blendan... Brendan! Brendan 'Cookies' Lagostina."

4 | CLINSTON FRANKLIN
I know how this happened. His dad wanted the manly "Clint", for his favourite actor, or maybe his favorite Howard brother. But his mom wanted the classier "Winston". And so they reached a compromise. I once met an Irish girl named "Teshawna" who fell victim to this unfortunate conflict-resolution-by-way-of-name-foul.

3 | KAAPO KAHKONEN
When his name was announced, I misheard it as "Taco Kahkonen", which is better, in my opinion. But I digress. If you made up a Fin, and said his name was Kaapo Kahkonen, people would accuse you of mocking the good people of Finland. Which I would never do, even if this kid's name sounds like the noise you make when you accidentally inhale a cat hair.

I can't disassociate it with the vacuum cleaner, which is unfortunate I quite like Dyson. On the other hand it means it rarely used

Kaapo is the Finnish form of Gabriel apparently. I thought it sounded Hawaiian before I read the blurb.

Your commentary is amazing. :) And these names? These names are awful.
