Hockey Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He played on seven different NHL teams, and if you were to add the European leagues, the total would be eleven.
    He has a Twitter account and is active on it.
    He was mistakenly believed to be the father of former Thrashers forward Tim Stapleton.
    His tenure as head coach with Sault Ste. Marie, of the OHL ended abruptly after a year and a half, while some junior hockey pundits felt he got pushed out of his position in favor of Sheldon Keefe (2012).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is the son of former NHL forward Pat Stapleton.
    While he is proud of his father's NHL accolades, he preferred to make his own name in the league.
    He was a gritty foward with a solid two way game.
    He was a member of the inaugural Atlanta Thrashers roster (1999-2000 season).
    He advocated for his hometown of Sarnia to rename the city's community arena after his father, who was considered the first native of the city to reach the NHL full-time.
