Back in '98, I tried fantasy hockey with a team named Les Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents (AFR). Well, they might as well have been in wheelchairs, the way they played.
But since I'm glutton for punishment, I thought I'd try another fantasy hockey team, this time manned with namesakes of my favorite writers.
Thank god I'm 10 years too late for Jim (Peter) Carey.
Let's see:
Evgeni (Vladimir) Nabokov
Johan (Jonathan) Franzen
Anson (Angela) Carter
Ryan (Arthur) Miller
Chris (Tom) Drury
Tom (Scott) Fitzgerald
Dominic (Lorrie) Moore
Greg (Denis) Johnson
Brent (Denis) Johnson
uh...
Doug (Tim) O'Brien (7 minutes career ice time)
hmm...
Sidney (Norm?) Crosby
The league is crawling with Czechs and not one Kundera.
So I need some help. Anybody?
Jason "Dorothy" Allison
Stu "Julian" Barnes
Dan "TC" Boyle
Adrienne "Martin" Brodeur
Adam "Shelby" Foote
Colin "Papa" Hemingway
Rick "Ogden" Nash
Jeff "Eugene" O'Neill
Jaroslav "Terese" Svoboda
Dennis "John Edgar" Wideman

Seems I remember a Corso skating around for St. Louis a few years ago.
