Hockey is famous for nicknames..."Turk," "Chicotoumi Cucumber," whatever. These days, nicknames are more a product of a player's last name. "Clark" becomes, "Clarkie"..."Ovechkin" becomes, "Ovie"..."Crosby" becomes...well, you get the idea.
But sometimes, a unique nickname is in order. Consider, if you will, Kris Beech...former first-round draft pick of the Capitals, later sent to Pittsburgh in the Jaromir Jagr trade...to Nashville...then to back to Washington...then to Columbus.
Well, young Mr. Beech has been "on the road," as they say...
January 10th, claimed off waivers by Vancouver from Columbus.
January 22nd, claimed off waivers by Washington from Vancouver.
January 26th, claimed off waivers by Pittsburgh from Washington.
Four cities and 4,590 miles in 16 days.
...we'll propose "Travelocity" as Beech's nickname.

I was looking forward to seeing Beech in a Caps uniform too bad he didn't clear waivers to Hershey and make his way back here. LETS GO CAPS!!!
