The boys have nick names and so does everything else! The goalie is considered "between the pipes" when in goal, the pipes of course being the goal pipes. Girl fans also have nicknames, puck bunny and hockey chick. There is a difference between Puck bunnies and hockey chicks.
puck bunny- a girl there just to look at and persue the players in a romantic way
Hockey chick- a girl who yells at other fans, players, refs, and anyone else. They get into the game and if they end up dating a player that's ok, but that's not their goal
There's also a nickname for the prospects and younger players, they're both considered "babies". Alot of fans consider people of my generation and younger babies. Skates are called blades or wheels. Players are considered a sniper when they are sneaky or fly under the radar until they get into a fight or score a goal.
We also have nicknames for stuff and people the rest of the world has like womanizer. The thrasher has one womanizer--at least. One of his former team mates sold him out when I mentioned that I liked his style- and him in general.The womanizer is Boris Valabik. I love Boris!In Boris' defense a lot of players are womanizers at some point.
We also have instagaters (spelling??) who want to start crap, booser losers and so on!!
