I will occasionally catch a hockey game on television if nothing else is on, and I've even been to a few of my University's club team games. I just can't get into it for whatever reason. Maybe it's because I can't skate and I'm jealous of those that can.
One NHL player that I find interesting, though, is George Parros of the Anaheim Ducks.
Parros is a Princeton graduate and his team's "enforcer" (yes, apparently it is actually possible that a tough guy went to Princeton.) Parros has shattered my misconception that all Princeton males are wimpish.
Parros is also in possession of a killer mustache reminiscent of Frank Zappa.
See for yourself:
Parros doesn't score many goals but he does get into a lot of fights. The hockey equivalent of Mark Madsen. A player that doesn't score many baskets but does "hustle".
In other words, both are extremely lucky that they have a job in professional sports.

you couldn't be more right about mark madsen. that guy brings no discernable skill to the nba table. i still remember how annoying he was at stanford.
the key stat here: 1.8 PF in 8.4 minutes. horrific.
This guy looks like he should be Blades of Glory or Miracle, but without a doubt I hope he is never the coach of the Mighty Ducks. FLYING V!!!
Madsen is averaging more personal fouls than points per game this season. 1.8 to 1.1. The highlight of Mark "Mad Dog" Madsen's career was when he broke out his dancing moves for the Lakers championship victory celebration. I will have that image burned into my memory for the rest of my life.
This guy looks like he should be in*
