Kailer Yamamoto is from the USA.

So is Leo KomarovCanada is still a new country so I expect to see a bunch of new names coming from hockey players as people continue to move here. Same with hockey players who move from North America like Paul Stastny holding three passports as he comes from a Slovakian background, born in Canada and plays for Team USA.
Sasha Barkov comes off as Russian but is Finnish.
Another is Brandon Saad sounding Syrian.
Shouldn't be a surprise since Zion is a Jewish name and most modern day Jewish people are white/of European descent, rather than Semitic. It would be a surprise if someone who was not Jewish had that name since it wouldn't make much sense.Yeah true, I guess I was more surprised to find out he's white
I seem to remember first seeing him in international play and thinking "Oh, that one little guy with the gigantic stick's actually pretty good. I wonder how he'd do in the NHL".Many years ago, in the before time, he was known as Mats Zuccarello Aasen. That's when I first heard of him; I think it was on the prospects board. He became Zuccarello a bit before he was drafted.
Poor Ethan BearJordin Tootoo is Canadian. Everyone else is an immigrant.
IIRC Hebert is from a town where NY/VT/Quebec all meet. Town is technically in NY State.Douglas Murray from Sweden.
Guy Hebert (USA). I understand that NA is a melting pot...but it was the pronunciation of the name that threw me off.
Jan Rutta is Czech but there are several Rutta's who are Finish...

He might be of French Canadian ancestry but his family became Americans when they drew the borders after the War of 1812.
There are literal towns that are half in Canada and half in the US in that area.
Like the NW angle in MN can only be reached by land through Canada because they didn't know what Lake of the Woods actually looked like in the 1780s.
I thought Leo Komarov is russian lion.
Actually if his name translate, then it would be like "son of moskito"I thought Leo Komarov is russian lion.
