Canuck Animal Names - Who Are They??


Back in October when the Canucks were starting their pre-season, they would get together for lunches and such and use them as bonding sessions.  Out of these bonding sessions came a consensus that they would all have code names.  These code names would all be animal names that would relate to their personality.  These names were given out by the "tribal council".  And who sits on this council? None other that the witty Kevin Bieksa, Dan Hamhuis and Keith Ballard.  Through Kevin Bieksa's tweets and radio interviews we've gotten him to reveal some of them.  I will be revealing some of the names that I know of so far in random posts so keep an eye out for them.  Today I will reveal the first name that Bieksa revealed to us on a Team 1040 interview with Scotty Rintoul. 

Jannik Hansen = Honey Badger



Why the Honey Badger, you ask?  Well, watch this and you'll find out why this names suits him to a "T".


Yes, don't let the name fool you, the Honey Badger is nothing close to being a sweet animal.  He's pretty bad ass.  I wouldn't want to mess with either of them.  Would you??
