Every hockey team has at least one guy who, for whatever reason, is loved by the fans there.

Whether it be through dedication to the team, playing the game the right way, being incredibly skilled or maintaining some type of charisma that is impossible to ignore, these guys have won admiration where ever they play.

Fans of other teams may not always some of these players, but those cheering these players are certainly happy to see them on the ice.

Anaheim Ducks

George Parros has been the Ducks' enforcer since the 2006-07 season.

One of the NHL's top heavyweights and a well-experienced pugilist, only Parros' mustache comes close to giving him competition in Anaheim.

Boston Bruins

Boston hockey fans love their young team leader in points, Tyler Seguin, but you would have a hard time finding a Bruins fan who doesn't own some form of Milan Lucic apparel.

Buffalo Sabres

Ryan Miller gained a lot of fans in the United States after being the team's netminder on the 2010 United States Olympic hockey team.

The admiration is no different in Buffalo.

Calgary Flames

Who else would be the pick for this franchise but Eric Staal? The 27-year-old captain averages more than 70 points per season for the Hurricanes.

Chicago Blackhawks

Along with teammate Patrick Kane, captain Jonathan Toews' jersey is one of the NHL's bestsellers every season.

An excellent all-around hockey player, there's no questioning why so many people like Toews.

Colorado Avalanche

The 21-year-old Matt Duchene totaled 67 points last season but played in just 58 games this season.

He'll be a big part of the Avalanche for many years if the team can re-sign him this offseason.

Columbus Blue Jackets

Columbus has not had much to be proud of in its history, but Rick Nash is a bright spot.

Nash could be on the move this offseason after being the talk of rumors at the trade deadline.

Philadelphia Flyers

The best-selling jersey in the NHL this season belonged to Philadelphia's Claude Giroux, according to SportsBusinessDaily.com.

Giroux is a candidate for the Hart Memorial Trophy and is loved by Flyers fans for good reason.

Phoenix Coyotes

Shane Doan is Phoenix's version of Daniel Alfredsson.

Doan was with the franchise before the move from Manitoba to Arizona. He's the captain and the face of hockey in that area.

Steven Stamkos is the NHL's best sniper. He is admired widely by hockey fans, not only in Tampa Bay.

Last summer when the Lightning took a bit of a while to get him re-signed, fans of other teams everywhere were drooling over getting the 60-goal superstar.
