Anyone know who this hockey player is?

Question

I don't have a lot of info, other than he is originally from Canada, his name is Nick (spelling?), he's 27, now lives in New York, & he retired from hockey a few years ago. I'm trying to find out his last name and/or who he might've played for...

Answer 1

Try the following website. You can search for a player based only on his first name:

Answer 2

if a hockey player could use his stick as a weapon, like those pussy lacrosse players are allowed to do during an actual game, the hockey player would clearly win. without weapons though, it depends what position, a defensive or offensive lineman and a lot of safetys would win in most fights, but there are some really tough hockey players. Milan Lucic of the Boston Bruins Riley Cote of the Philadelphia Flyers Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins Chris Neil of the Ottowa Senators guys like this would have a good chance against a football player

Answer 3

Tough......

Only thing i could see was Nick Boucher, a goalie. He's 27 and from British Columbia. Probably not the one but he's the only guy that comes close to your limited info. Hope it helps.

Answer 4

The one name that might fit is former Boston Bruins player Nick Boynton.He is 27 years old .
Boston Bruins 2003-04 He was a holdout as an unrestricted free agent in 2005.
ACQUIRED: Boston's first choice, 21st overall, in 1999

Boynton has played all 4 of his NHL seasons for Boston. He was drafted in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft by Boston. (He was originally drafted by the Washington Capitals in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft.) His best season was 2003-04 when he had 30 points. During the NHL lockout season of 2004-05, Boynton played for the Nottingham Panthers in the British Elite Ice Hockey League, memorably scoring the equalising goal in the British Championship Grand Final. On June 26, 2006, he was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for fellow defenseman Paul Mara.


There are several former hockey players with the first name of "Nick". But none fit the age. They are all much older than 27, but here are three of them:Nick Fotiu, Nick Kypreos, and Nick Harbaruk.

Here are the other players, just for your record.
Nicholas Evlampios Fotiu (born May 25, 1952 in Staten Island, New York) is a retired American ice hockey forward, and is the first professional hockey player ever from New York City's Staten Island to play for the local NHL New York Rangers.

Nick Kypreos (born June 4, 1966 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a retired Canadian professional Hockey Left Winger who played 8 seasons in the National Hockey League for the Hartford Whalers, Washington Capitals, New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Nick Harbaruk started his life in a hotly contested bit of land during a World War, and immigrated to Canada at the tender age of five with his family. He played junior hockey in Toronto, where his family had settled, eventually making his way into the pros in 1964-65.

After two games with the Rochester Americans, Nick went to Tulsa. He played four seasons with the Tulsa Oilers while attending the University of Tulsa. During the 1967-68 season, he played briefly for Vancouver, but soon returned to Tulsa, opting to put his university degree and his wife, an Oklahoma native, ahead of his professional hockey career.

It was a plan that paid off Harbaruk: he finished his degree and was later claimed by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1969 Intra-League draft. When he entered the NHL, it was as one of only four players with a college degree. His academic credentials established, he devoted himself to becoming one of the hardest checking defensive forwards in the league.

Although he was never a high goal scorer, his style suited the Penguins, who were looking for some hard hitters. He played four seasons in Pittsburgh before being traded to St. Louis in October 1973. After a year with the Blues, he jumped to the WHA, citing the money he was being offered by the expansion Indianapolis Racers as his chief incentive. After three more seasons of professional hockey, he retired and became the coach of Seneca College. In his seven years behind the bench, he posted a 118-25-3 record, and won three Ontario College championships, as well as silver and a bronze medal in the Canadian finals.
