Arda Öcal’s best, funniest 2022-23 fantasy hockey team names

We’ve come to that special time of year where it’s time to step up and get creative. The NHL season is just around the corner but for you, dear fantasy player, the true work has already begun. You, likely sweating profusely with a 17/10 level of stress are spending endless hours…or minutes…staring at your phone or monitor, in an effort to search high and wide for something clever. Because, after all, if you’re going to be the best, if you’re to embarrass and troll your friends and enemies in your league, you have to look and sound good doing it.  But maybe you’ve hit a creative wall and the best, or even good and funny, team name just isn’t coming to you. You’re stuck on “Valeri Nichu-shirts-versus-skins” and you know you can do better.

Don’t worry, I’m here to help.

For the second year at ESPN, I present to you Arda Öcal’s best fantasy hockey team names for 2022.

Assembling the actual team? That’s on you to decide on Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, (or the rest of the Edmonton Oilers), Patrick Kane, or any other star skater or goalie. But even if your fantasy team stinks more than your hockey equipment after a two hour practice with no pucks, at least you’ll have a fantasy team name that’s a banger.

Enjoy!
