I just realized that Trochek is American! lol This reminded me of how Milan Lucic is surprisingly from BC. Which had me thinking- what other NHLers are surprisingly not from Europe given their names?
What nationality did you think Trochek was, I don't recall any European players named Vincent?I just realized that Trochek is American! lol This reminded me of how Milan Lucic is surprisingly from BC. Which had me thinking- what other NHLers are surprisingly not from Europe given their names?

How is "Lee" european?
It’s an English surname, like most notably, Confederate war General Robert E LeeHow is "Lee" european?
Yeah but I mean, why would someone be surprised that someone named "Lee" not be european? That's why I'm asking because maybe there's something I don't know about that name in europe.Shame that Milwaukee is now part of Europe.
I mean, it’s not really common for a white dude either? And “Anders” isn’t as common, so I get it.
It’s the first names that might be a bigger indicator- Travis, Steven, Cody, those all seem largely NA-only. My own last name is Western European AF, it’s a thing.
Melting pot yo.
Opposite way: Douglas Murray the surprising Swede
Oduya is an African name but from SwedenJacob De La Rose is also Swedish despite his French name!
