GREAT PEOPLE IN HISTORY WHO PLAYED HOCKEY

Can you name some famous people who played hockey? I don't mean people who are known primarily as hockey players. I know some, but I'd like your help here.

Hint: One famous guy lived in Rome and spoke Polish fluently (as well as a number of other languages).

As a boy, Pope John Paul II played hockey on a frozen river in his native Poland. There is no confirmation of rumours that his preference for curved hockey stick blades led him to the priesthood and on to bigger things holding a curved shepherd's staff.
