It seems the development team that handled the Hillsbrad Foothills was filled with hockey fans:

Kris Legace, Freewheeling Tradeswoman (Durnholde Keep)

Manny Legace, goalie (Detroit/St. Louis)

And (possibly) Kris Draper, forward (Winnipeg/Detroit)

Robert Aebischer, Superior Armorsmith (Southshore)

David Aebischer, goalie (Colorado/Montreal)

Sarah Raycroft, General Goods Dealer (Southshore) Andrew Raycroft, goalie (Boston/Toronto)

Serge Hinott, Expert Alchemist (Tarren Mill)

Dan Hinote, forward (Colorado/ St. Louis) also; Several "Serge"s in the NHL, but probably Serge Savard, Hall of Fame defenseman for Montreal

Jason Lemieux, Mushroom Seller (Tarren Mill)

Claude Lemieux, forward (Colorado/New Jersey)

Note: I chose Claude out of the numerous Lemieux in the NHL because of the clear Colorado bias!)

Stanley the Dog (Hillsbrad Fields)

Stanley Cup (The NHL's championship trophy)

Welsey, Stablehand (Southshore)

Glen Wesley, defenseman (Boston/Carolina)

Like the player, Wesley the stableman is a burly blond fellow.
