I voted for the Quebec Nordiques since that's where he spent the early part of his career on a team that was one of the most talented youth-wise.

Sakic, Sundin, Nolan, Forsberg, Deadmarsh, Ricci, etc.

Although, I think he'll be remembered most for his messed-up nose and all of those missing teeth.

I'll always remember the ugliest man in the NHL as an Avalache. Scored some big goals in the playoff's that's for sure. Not hall of fame worthy but a decent career..

Now he can finally get that modeling career underway. Solid player and a good "team guy" from everything I have heard. I remember him more as a Shark. Not sure why though. Mike

My question is, who has the title as ugliest man in the NHL now, I mean, it will be tough to replace Ricci.

I will remember him as a Nordique/Av...loved having him around.

Man, that's a good question?!?!? Is Bobby Holik still playing???

Ugly in his own right, but you know, there was just something about Ricci....he should go into the HOF with that distinction, kind of like Pippen in the NBA....or maybe Ewing.

Quebec.

As for his ugliness, it was his power mullet, which of course was the source of his power. As soon as he shaved it down? Nothing good came from it...

Mike Ricci will be remembered as a fiece competitor on the ice and a gentleman off the ice that won a Stanley Cup as a player.

Eric Lindros will be remembered as a first overall pick that refused to don the Nordiques jersey at the draft and subsequently refused to play in Quebec City, never wining a Stanley Cup as a player.

Ricci was the ugliest man in the league for the past decade for sure, but I think Daren Puppa beat him out early in the career! lol

Quebec for sure... I agree, that talent level was unreal!

He had a small part in the move The Rocket... he was hard to miss...

Puppa gets props for a cool last name though

I'd argue for Tim Hunter (Flames) as Ricci's predecessor to the title.
