Funny Goalie Nicknames

[srv2miker 0]

Hey Guys, need some quick help:

My company is redesigning it's website, and we're all getting new profiles. Since my photo is of me wearing goalie gear, they want to add a funny goalie nickname, but I can think of a good one, can you guys give me any suggestions?

I've already thought of (and rejected)

- Sieve

- Swiss cheese

- Holey the Goalie

- Mr. Couldn't Stop A Beach Ball

Any others? Your help is much appreciated, and don't be afraid to insult me :)

Gump (as in Lorne Worsely).

There's a good line in religious goalie nicknames (Preacher, Reverend, Father, etc.) stemming from the original butterfly goalie, Clint Benedict, who was called "Prayin' Benny" for dropping to his knees. Best one was probably Roger "Father" Crozier.

"Leaky" works nicely as a metonym for "Sieve," as do "Drips" and "Taps" (also implying ritual or obsessive-compulsive post-tapping).

"Cat" is a pretty common one, with specific variations like Ric "Tabby" "Tabaracci.

Doughnuts (as in shutouts and eats too many...), as well as other signifiers of a shutout: "Bingo," "Naught," "Nada," "Zilch," "Zip," "Zippo," etc.

Coolest of all time is probbably Frank "Mr. Zero" Brimsek, followed closely by Walter "Turk" Broda.

Here's mine:

"Digger" - one of my buddies started calling me digger because I was constantly digging the puck out of my net. <_<

"Red light"

The other half was called a "Puck Whisperer" by one of the guys after being unable to score on him all night.

Not a nickname but a good story regardless. Back in the old days (not sure when), there was a goalie in the NHL who sported the number double zero. Why? "Because every time I turn around to get the puck from behind me I'm thinking, 'Uh Oh'".

A popular one here in the UK is "Tea Bag" I have been called this a few times in my time :lol:

haha, an old junior coach here used to refer to his goalie as sun burn, because of how often the red light would go on behind him

My high school goalie was short, always wore a green practice jersey and one day the coach just said he looked like a turtle. the name stuck.

[Law Goalie 147]

Did he often get stuck on his back, flailing his legs impotently in the air?

LOL, lucky he was named turtle and not booger!

instead of "Mr. Zero"

have your name as "Mr. Five Hole"

p.s.

another couple nicknames from an infamous NHL/WHA goalie was Gilles Gratton's "Gratoonie the Loonie", and Gary Smith's "The Axe" and "Suitcase" (refering to the many, many different teams he played with over the years.

[Law Goalie 147]

I thought Billy Smith was "Axe"... but it might have been both of them, actually.

Jamie "Noodles" McLennan should also bear notice. I wonder how he's liking Japan...
