Has there ever been a better hockey family in the HNL? Professional sports?

5 in the family in the NHL at some point. Cripes.

His two uncles were NHLers. His dad(Peter) is a hall of famer. And his brother has played in the NHL (in minors now).

Has this happened in any other major sports where more than 5 family members were of professional caliber?

EDIT: OK, there are 4 Staal brothers in the NHL.

Hollywood is said to be in talks for making a movie about the Stastny's defection to the west.
 
Read the wiki on the Sutter Family, I knew they had a lot of brothers in the league, but 6 (out of 7 brothers) played in the NHL, with 6 stanley cups shared between them and another as coach (Daryl with the Kings). Two of the younger generation (Brett and Brandon) currently play in the NHL with two more in the minors. So, 8 members in two generations are in the NHL, with two more potentially making it.

One hell of a dynasty.
 
IMO there is no greater hockey family than the Hulls. Pop and Junior take the cake. All the ones mentioned are good ones though.
