A St. Louis family got a new puppy and are huge Blues Hockey fans.  They decided to name the new dog after a Blues Hockey player.  Their daughter suggested Oshie after T.J. Oshie.  The whole family liked the name so the name stuck.  Later the family found out there are at least 30 people in the St. Louis area that named their pets Oshie in the past year.  When T.J. Oshie was asked what he thought about the animals that are named after him he thought it was a bit weird at first.  But he was flattered.  He said "Tell the fans thanks for the support, and I hope your pets behave well."
