players name can spelled forwards AND backwards?

[cujo3167]

How many players have played in the NHL that when you spell their names normal and then spell it backwards it spells the same thing.

For example: Joel Otto (spell otto backwards and u still get otto) this is what I mean.

Can anyone think of any other players like this? Thought it might be interesting..

Jiri Latal

What about Bob Gainey?

You never specified the last name had to be a palindrome, after all.

This was a trivia question in a hockey trivia book I had as a kid about 15 years ago... the answer then and now I believe is ...


Lupul, Latal, Otto.

So wrong, and yet so funny.

That said, I met Jacques Demers at a function in Sudbury two years ago when he spoke on illiteracy. Really nice guy, very insightful talk.

I met Marc Staal that night as well, a friend of mine called him Eric, awkward.
