Correct!!! He was born in Yugoslavia and his family moved to North America when he was a child.
That's a surprising answer. With the number of immigrants Canada has had from various parts of Europe, would have expected a similar circumstance much closer to 1917 (when the NHL started)

I agree, but remember the NHL draft only started in 1963 and they were in small numbers until 1969.

QUESTION - As a follow up to the earlier discussion. Using HockeyDB as a source, who was the only European born player in the NHL during its inaugural season of 1917/1918? This player was known as the perhaps the dirtiest and nastiest player of his era. He died of the Spanish Flu 4 days after the cancellation of the 1919 Stanley Cup. (Note there are a number of players that year with unknown birthplace data)
