jjgallow Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 So, legit question.... What does hockey have in the way of Multi-sport, and multi-position Pro Athletes? I'm just curious as not much immediate comes to mind. First neuron that fired said Gary Leeman darts lol. That neuron needs to die off. Next in my mind was Gretzky, not a shocker that he had his choice of pro sports. But he only ever really got paid for the hockey and wasn't nearly at the same level in baseball. Curious ...Trivia experts who know: Who are some prominent Bo-Jackson type NHLers? ALSO: Goalies who can play Forward or D? D who can play forward? *** I'm actually shocked we don't see more of this. Sometimes I think if they let Hanifin play wing I'd like him more as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreaker Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Well, I mean, it's not multi-sport (although, Sean Monahan, I'm told, is an exceptional lacrosse player), but Brent Burns was a right winger until he met Jacques Lemaire in his first pro season with the Minnesota Wild.

Galchenyuk's too banged up I think? I'm guessing he's a case of painkiller problems. Purely speculation and more a generalisation about the nhl than him.

This week, Crime in Sports will release episode 365... I wonder if Galchenyuk, gets in there before #400. They usually like to let it percolate awhile, but this guy is cementing his place!
