There are a large number of players in the NHL today whose fathers played in the league.
Since Fantasy Hockey Journal's last list of NHL father and sons several players have moved on. Among them: Robert Nilsson (son of Kent) is now playing in the KHL. Chris Bourque (son of Ray) and Tyler Arnason (son of Chuck) are playing in Switzerland. Danny Richmond (son of Steve) and Brad Lukowich (son of Bernie) are in the American Hockey League. Brett Sutter (son of Darryl) almost made the list but was recently sent down to the AHL.
