Need to lose the "IRON" if Jarrod were a rock star, boxer or UFC fighter it maybe exceptable but he's a hockey player. Just sounds corny IMO.

[Attack Trac]

I have to agree...

Iron Maiden debuted in 1980. Jarrod was born in 1994. Their career was pretty much over by the time he was born. I agree, no need to tag him with dumb cliche nickname.

[goldfish]

he had the name before he had anything to do with the Attack...

[Annie]

So what, it's stupid nickname. How about a fresh start without it?

[Digger]

Folks relax!!

It's a nickname and it's not important or worth arguing about especially if the kid is comfortable with the name.
