If you follow any of the San Jose Sharks players who are active on Twitter, you've probably seen something like this:
@jasondemers5 @TJGaliardi the single life eh daddy. That's why you got me #bromancecity
— Logan Couture (@Logancouture) May 12, 2013
Logan Couture, Brent Burns, TJ Galiardi, and others all have a habit of referring to Jason Demers with the nickname "Daddy."
Obviously, this is very strange, and it has bothered me since I first noticed it was a thing.
Recently, I decided to try and get to the bottom of the Daddy mystery:
Jason Demers' nickname among the other Sharks is "Daddy." This is a true fact we can ignore no longer.

Back in May I started to pester Demers and other folks on Twitter, repeatedly asking them to explain the nickname:
. @Burnzie88 hey Brent do you know why the other players call Demers "Daddy"? People are really curious.
— Megalodon (@MegalodonBOC) May 12, 2013
. @Logancouture @jasondemers5 @TJGaliardi hey guys. Everyone REALLY wants to know why you call Demers "Daddy". Can you tell us?

Hey @macklemore can you ask Jason Demers why the other players call him "Daddy"? @jasondemers5
— Megalodon (@MegalodonBOC) May 10, 2013
And then, finally, I got my answer.
. @Logancouture now you guys are just messing with us. Why is @jasondemers5 daddy? @TJGaliardi
— Megalodon (@MegalodonBOC) May 12, 2013
@MegalodonBOC the answer to the nickname is "downtown" it's all "downtown" like the song #seinfeld
