“Slim” Holdaway was really Melville Holdaway, who played for the Flin Flon Bombers. Elvis Holdaway was his brother, who played for Yorkton.
They were my uncles, and both from Brandon Manitoba.

As a wedding planner and hockey fanatic, I must say:
Awesome-est thing ever.

Absolutely outstanding. Including all different periods was a very nice touch.

Thanks for the kudos all!
Lucas, fun question. No NHLer ever had “Elvis” as a first name. There was a player named Elvis “Slim” Holdaway in 1938 on the Yorkton Terriers, and a few Elvises (Elvii?) in the German and Swiss leagues, but no NHL players.

As one of the guests in attendance, I am grateful to the hosts that I was not at the table that could have led people to accuse me of “hooking”

Congratulations!
This got me thinking: has there ever been an NHL player named Elvis? The closest I can think of is Jarome Iginla, as one of his middle names is “Elvis” (after his father).
