Which Former Hockey Player Would Make The Best Tory MP?

Now that Georges Laraque is the deputy leader of the Green Party; that begs the question which former hockey player would you most like to see sit as a Conservative in Parliament? Thomas Steen came close to winning a seat in Winnipeg in the last election, and I hope that he decides to run again next time we go to the polls. I can't say with certainty which athletes are aligned with which political ideologies, though I am pretty sure that Wayne Gretzky is right leaning. Don Cherry might be too close to retirement to serve a term in elected office, and his big mouth would be a headache for any Prime Minister. My all-time favourite hockey player is Steve Yzerman, who also assembled our 2010 gold medal team.

The Liberals have Ken Dryden. Who should the Tories have?

  1. Trevor Linden, man! Anyone to replace that sea hag, Hedy ("the crosses are burning in Prince George!"; "The Bay's Canadian Olympic logo looks exactly like the Conservatives' logo...ergo, it's a Conservative ploy") Fry, in Vancouver Centre. He'd win without a doubt, too.

  2. That's easy, Don Cherry, hands down.

  3. Think outside the box

    #33 - Hayley Wickenheiser: Best women's hockey player in the world, mother to a nine-year-old son, aspiring physician, a 15-year national team veteran with 300-plus points in 200-plus international games, Wickenheiser is captain for the first time as Team Canada campaigns for a third consecutive gold medal.

  4. Strategic thinking out of the box again. Where does Don Cherry live has a business?

    Toronto proper would be a good seat.

    A Montreal candidate!
