I'll have to check him out, never heard of him! I love nicknames, although my kid ended up wearing 88 (nothing to do with Lindros in the beginning), and he reminds me of Lindros a lot in his play style, Big C just doesnt suit him for a nickname. Other than the coaches kid, who is Jan 1st 1999 birthdate, my kid is the youngest on the team. I never compare him to the coaches kid cause the coach is a 6'6" Swede. He played junior hockey in Sweden and his kid is probably going to be as tall. My kid is dead in the middle of the road in height on the team, despite being 6-8 months younger than all of the other boys.

His name is Cameron, and of course it's just Cam most of the time (Yea, we named him after Cam Neely). I always liked the nickname Pat Verbeek had, "Little Ball of Hate", but Cam is most likely too big to have the word "Little" in his nickname.

I'll have to start working on a good nickname for him!
