Time for the Next Hockey Nickname
Sunday December 18, 2005
The Next One has arrived. But if you think he's great, just wait until you see the Next One. Then there's the Next One; most folks don't know about him yet. And remember that guy they called the Next One? Too bad he never quite lived up to billing.
Such is the sorry state of the hockey nickname in 2005. Starved of imagination, sports writers recycle the same old label every time some 14-year-old scores a hat trick.
To review:
It's all a bit much, and a bit confusing. We humbly suggest a few alternatives for the next fuzzy-cheeked phenom: The Other One; The Very Good One; The Better Than Most Guys His Age One; The Kid Who Had That Decent Game The Other Night One.
