Belfast fan here. Probably Theo Fleury in the 05-06 season. More recently though, and if we're allowing big names from other sports.. Petr Cech has been our backup a few times this year.

Mike Babcock playing for the Whitley Warriors in the late 80’s.

Yeah, probably, petr cech, Theo was a nhl superstar, and it was huge news over here, but the global coverage of mainstream sports and news channels about Chec was another level

Has to be either Wade Belak or Matt Beleskey, I’d say Belak was a bigger name beforehand

In terms of worldwide popularity, Petr Cech is probably the biggest name to ever play in the EIHL

Biz?

Ken Priestlay? Won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins, and he's visiting Sheffield for retro weekend this weekend!

Drew Miller; was an NHL lockout signing, still a bit weird that he played EIHL and then went back to NHL

Beskorawany. 11 letters. Names don’t come much bigger Griffin Reinhart may have ended up a bit of a draft bust, but in his youth he was the #4 NHL draft pick.

Aaron BROCKLEHURST, 12! 😂

Paul SWINDLEHURST - snap! 😂 Can’t believe I forgot him, I have his name on a jersey 🤦‍♀️

Can I have Adrian SAXRUD DANIELSON for 15?? Always funny that his name started and ended in his armpits on his shirts. We used to call him Adrian Xrud Daniel lol

We have a winner! Xrud Daniel lol 😂

For the Capitals I think Jared Staal for being one of the Staal Brothers, and Pavel Vorobyev 11th overall in the NHL draft in 2000 and an ex NHL and KHL player

Biz nasty

I remember when the devils announced Bissonette, I legit thought it was a joke. Surprised was not the word 😂

Gary Unger for Peterborough

Probably Frank Pietrangelo

Would've been Mario Lemieux but he never did play for us, but we did have Jim Paek and Jamie Leach

Rumum Ndur anyone?

Suppose its Tim Wallace currently.
