Spelling it Shesterkin takes advantage of a common Russian language confusion, which is that ё is often written as е, but the sounds are different. His name in Cyrillic is Шестёркин - with ë pronounced most closely as “yo.”

When I was a little girl, I typed and mailed letters to Jim Jackson and Coatesy asking for a job. I was mad for hockey, but didn’t know if there was a place for me.
They dialed my house phone.
