Tyler Myers Seeks New Nickname as He Leaves Chaos Giraffe Era Behind

The era of Tyler Myers, affectionately dubbed the ‘Chaos Giraffe’ by Vancouver fans, has officially come to an end following his recent trade to the Dallas Stars. As the veteran defenseman embarks on a new chapter in Texas, he has made it clear that he has no intention of carrying that nickname with him.

In a candid moment on 96.7 The Ticket after the Stars’ narrow 2-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights, Myers expressed his desire to shed the moniker, stating, “Let’s not bring that to Texas. That’s my worst nickname. It doesn’t even flow.” His comments highlight a desire for a fresh start as he integrates into his new team.

The nickname ‘Chaos Giraffe’ is believed to have originated from Wyatt Arndt of CanucksArmy, but it quickly became a term of endearment among the Vancouver fanbase as Myers established himself during his tenure with the Canucks. Despite its affectionate roots, the time has come for Myers to leave that chapter behind.

Now, with aspirations of competing for a Stanley Cup with the Stars, Myers is on the lookout for a new identity. Dallas captain Jamie Benn, a former junior teammate of Myers from their time with the WHL’s Kelowna Rockets, is reportedly trying to help him find a suitable replacement. “We had a weird thing in Kelowna — what is that, 17 years ago now — everybody called each other by their dad’s name. So he’s bringing that back a little bit,” Myers shared, hinting at a playful camaraderie that may lead to a new nickname.

As the Myers era in Vancouver concludes, fans are left to reminisce about the ‘Chaos Giraffe’ while eagerly anticipating what lies ahead for both the player and the team.
