Dude! What are you doing in that uniform? Part III

[Johnny Engine]

I have a new grievance/pet peev that never occurred to me or dawned on me until today and this seems like the most appropriate place to air it.

When a player retires, NHL.com needs to be faster in reverting their picture back to whatever team they are most associated with. Jarome Iginla has been retired for 7 years and is still wearing a #88 LA Kings jersey in his main page photo.

More like girl what are you doing in that jersey.

This is what I was able to dig up about her playing in a Kings jersey:

Erin Whitten played for the Kings during the 1993-94 season. It was as part of a benefit game for the victims of the Laguna Beach and Malibu wildfires. The game took place on December 8, 1993, against the Anaheim Ducks. Several personalities participated in this game: The Hanson Brothers played for each of the two clubs, Camy Granato played in the uniform of her brother Tony who was injured, and Manon Rhéaume was the Ducks' goalie (with her Lightning jersey).
