Elias Pettersson is quickly making a name for himself in the NHL. Now he's actually making another name for himself. 

The star Vancouver Canucks centre is coming off of a Calder Trophy-winning rookie season. While the 'Nucks didn't get much done in the standings, the season acted as a showcase for their promising future, with Pettersson right in the middle of it. 

Well, as it turns out, the skilled Swede that we all consider a household name in the hockey world, it turns out we've been saying his name wrong. 

 

 

 

Have we been pronouncing #EliasPettersson’s name wrong this whole time? 🤔😱

Peter-sun, not Pedder-son.

Who knew? Good thing he got to us early in his career, or else it would be even more confusing.
