Hockey nickname generator
Hockey nicknames mostly follow one rule: take the last name, chop it, add -y, -sy, -er or -o. Smith becomes Smitty. That's it. Type a name below and the generator does the chopping, then adds a few for how you play. It all runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or saved.
- Type a name first. Even a fake one.
How hockey nicknames actually work
- Chop and add a letter. Most of them. The first syllable or two of the last name, then -y, -sy, -er, -o or -zy. It's less creative than you'd hope, and it works on everybody.
- Initials. When the name won't chop, two initials will do.
- How you play. The hitter gets something heavy. The goalie gets something solid. The guy who never shoots gets something about passing, and not always as a compliment.
- One moment. One famous shift, one famous fall, one famous haircut. These stick forever and are not up for negotiation.
- You don't pick your own. Showing up with a nickname you gave yourself is how you end up with a worse one.
