First nicknamed the "Comet" by the French media in Montreal.
Then, a teammate compared him to a rocket.
And so stuck: Maurice "The Rocket" Richard
Oh and Patrick Roy nicknamed "Casseau" for his love of McDonald's french fries.

I like the more creative ones:
Motown's Stevie Wonder - this simply works on all levels !! He plays in Detroit and was amazing !!
Super Mario - video gamers will like that one
Mario Jr. - an anagram of the name "Jaromir", plus he played on Pittsburgh, won a bunch of Art Ross's, yada yada yada

I like Teemu Selanne's, "The Finnish Flash" because it sounds cool and I'm part Fin.
And I'm kinda partial to Henrik Zetterberg's, "Hank" because it's just simple.
