A Mennonite Olympic Ice Hockey Team? Yep, We Could Do It!
.jpg)
In an effort to help answer that
question, we have mined the lists of professional players and the rosters of
teams for anyone who might, just possible might be of Mennonite ethnic or faith
heritage.
The process of identification is
quite flawed… depending greatly on names, but in so doing, would likely miss
someone whose mother was Mennonite but do not have a Mennonite last name.
Those on the following list are
believed to be professional hockey players in the NHL or Europe and are
understood to be of Mennonite extraction based on secondary evidence such as
being mentioned in a church bulletin, newspaper or other resource.
If anyone knows if they are or not,
please let us know. Also, please let us
know of any others who are not on the list.
Thanks! ~ Bruderthaler
