Did you know that yesterday was the one month anniversary of the last time the NHL played a game? It's true; it's been over a month since we last got our hockey fix. Oh, there was the draft and free agency, and the phrase "We have a trade to announce" was a shot of adrenaline akin to an odd-man rush, but that was the nicotine patch to a decades-long cigarette addiction.

People have dealt with this in different ways. Some examine advanced stats on a PhD level. Some make jokes about a made-for-TV movie that tangentially relates to the team. Some throw themselves into watching a sport where there are more shots of people eating than there are of on-field action. And some decide to spend their time going through every single page of the Sharks official site.

That last person was me. And what was found was Fin Facts.

Not satisfied with the normal achievements and milestones that normally populate the "Notes" section of each player’s page, the Sharks decided to include "Fin Facts" about each of the players. You know, a pun on "fun facts." Because they're fun facts about players who play for a team called the Sharks. As it's July and there's pretty much nothing to write about, you get to read this.

All of these were found on the Sharks official website. I didn't make up any of these. I couldn't make up some of these.
