Answer: Stephane Beauregard
Stephane Beauregard's career was that of a short-lived backup goalie who played more in the minors then in the NHL, but during the 1992 off-season, he was traded from Winnipeg to Buffalo for Christian Ruuttu. Buffalo then traded him to Chicago for a then unknown Dominik Hasek. Chicago then traded him to Winnipeg for Christian Ruuttu (sound familiar?). Shortly after the 1992-1993 season started, he was traded yet again from Winnipeg, this time to Philadelphia. He played there the next few seasons before being relegated to the minors.

Answer: A man who knows nothing about hockey
Gordie Howe may have officially trademarked his nickname Mr. Hockey, but there is nothing he can do about a Joe Hockey. In fact, Mr. Hockey, Joe that is, doesn't even know who Howe is and he understands little about the made-in-Canada game. That's because Joe Hockey is Australian and there isn't much stick-and-puck culture in the land of kangaroos and crocodiles. Born to parents of Palestinian and Irish descent, the family name Hockedunian was anglicized Down Under. Ever since, he's been Joe Hockey.
