The last name change question and the answers to it reminded me that there are media guides published by the teams before every season and before the playoffs. (Someone mentioned pronunciations and this stuff is where I've learned most of them.)

See, as examples:

and
http://predators.nhl.com/v2/ext/01_2015-16_Files/2016_Playoff%20Media%20Guide.pdf

They're gigantic info dumps with literally everything you would want to know about a team and its players. Most of the pages are taken up by an exhaustive team history - like their franchise records playing in other arenas, etc. Milestones and records for miles and miles too.

But they also have profiles for their players, mostly hockey-related except for stuff like this -

Roman Josi's Background section:
Nickname “Yos”… Favorites include Rolf and Daughters (Nashville restaurant), Open by Andre Agassi (book), Steve Aoki (musician), Ibiza (vacation destination)… Enjoys playing tennis and would like to be an “oldies tennis pro” after his hockey career is completed… Considers being dropped into the ocean at night to be his greatest fear, and drinking chocolate milk to be his guilty pleasure… Adam Sandler would be his choice to play him in a movie.

(By the way, not all teams have them available on their site, so some nonnies might be disappointed trying to Google-fu them.)

Someone on reddit usually makes them available at the beginning of every season, so you can probably search there for uploads of old ones.

Here's the 2014-2015 ones a redditor uploaded: https://mega.nz/#F!UF1A2LSR!jE6r_S2QsnOorN9IdMxYMg

I noticed a lot of the PR sites that were linked a couple of posts back have them uploaded too if people are looking for them.

It always cracks me up that Matthias Janmark doesn't even have a picture in the media guide
