Hockey Terminology 101: It should be a contest with big prizes

I unashamedly, and without warning, stole the following post from a world famous blog to help promote funny nicknames and the concept of world peace. Mainly funny nicknames.

"Kyle Okposo, a 19 year old rookie for the New York Islanders scored his first NHL goal last night. Richard Park, a teammate set him up with a beautiful pass. In a post-game interview, Okposo referred to his teammate as Parkie and was thankful for the set-up pass."

"Wade Dubielawicz was in goal for the Islanders and did an outstanding job and of course when he was referenced, it was noted that Dubie was the difference in the game."

"Now for the test, using hockey terminology refer to the following in an affectionate manner ...

George Bush _________________

Vladimir Putin _________________

Nicolas Sarkozy _______________

Barack Obama ________________

Hillary Clinton ________________

If you complete the test successfully, the world will be one big happy hockey team. Just think and it all started on a frozen pond in northern Canada. Good luck."


Though the post's creator has offered no prizes for Best Nickname I am submitting my winning entries in hopes of bringing more peace to our corner of the frozen pond.

George Bush aka Leeg; Vladimir Putin aka Hitman; Nicolas Sarkozy aka Benched; Barack Obama aka First Star; Hilary Clinton aka The Great Zamboni.

Enter as often as you like at Four Mugs and a Crock.
