Peter Hurd is Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Alberta. He is a prolific finger-length researcher. A March 3, 2005 press release from the university says:
Hurd is conducting ongoing research in this area, including a study that involves measuring hockey players? finger lengths and crossreferencing the results with each player?s penalty minutes.
That?s an excerpt from the article ?Finger Celebrities,? published in AIR 13:5.
