S56 mPT #2 - Behind the Player Name
#13

My player name, Jöörgüštrâäd DuBølk, needs some context

If you've been around the block a bit, you probably know that my first player's name was Jøln DuBølk. Why the name "Jøln" ? Beats me. I found the site while I was hanging out in my engineering classroom at school, and I thought: "Jøln sounds like a good name for a Swedish defenseman," which was partially inspired by my favorite player, John Klingberg.

Once the SMJHL draft rolled around and I was picked up in the 4th round, the draft stream people had trouble pronouncing Jøln's name, and had said "That's not how those letters work." (to be fair they were right) Once I was drafted to the SHL, I vividly remembered Nobody (the former J commish and draft streamer for you youngn's) took a good 10 seconds trying to pronounce "Jøln."

Then one day, me and some of the people in the Tampa Bay locker room at the time started discussing names for our potential recreates. At that moment, I thought back to those times people had mentioned that my name was hard to pronounce. That's when I had the brilliant idea:

"Why don't I make my new player's name be even MORE incomprehensable?"

That's when I decided to create Jöörgüštrâäd DuBølk. I don't even think this was even the original spelling, but I knew this is what I wanted my next players' name to be.

Cut to S54, and I'm beginning to blow up Tampa Bay to begin the rebuild of ages. After selling off pretty much everyone, I had one more piece to sell: my own corpse. I retire my player, then I created Jöörgüštrâäd DuBølk, coming to the Tampa Bay Barracuda in style

And if you are wondering, yes: my recreate for the S69 draft will have a name more nonsensical than even Jöörgüštrâäd. Crafting a gibberish name like this takes time and effort, so I will need everyone's support once the time comes.
