NHL Players of Hispanic/Latino Heritage

[@hockeyxchange3]

An audio portion of Torres part was cut off for some reason but hopefully everyone was still able to understand!

The Zelda Lofi goes hard! keep making videos you’ll be one of the big hockey KZbinrs

[@hockeyxchange3]

Former Wild goalie Manny Fernandez comes to mind. He's Portuguese. Excellent video.

[@jjerg]

Hispanic indicates a country that speaks Spanish. A diverse group of nations in different continents like Spain, Chile and Equatorial Guinea are Hispanic. Latino indicates countries that are geographically located in Latin America regardless of official language. Spanish-speaking nations like Peru, Mexico and El Salvador plus non Spanish-speaking Brasil. Portugal, while still a badass country that cans the best sardines, is neither Hispanic nor Latino. No disrespect to Manny Fernández. Loved him on the Wild. I thijnk he won a few Jennings Trophys too. 🤘🏼

I'm Puerto Rican, and I've been a Rangers fan since 2004. I've looked up to players like Brian Leetch and Jagr growing up but sadly hockey was never popular in my area and I didn't get to play street hockey until I was 16 and ice hockey until I was 20.(I'm 26 now)Really glad that alot of these fellow Hispanic/Latino players are giving back. Something I would've loved to do

[@hockeyxchange3]

It’s always great when they give back and inspire others to pursue something that seems unachievable, but they are living proof that it is possible!

Cool video! You should do one about NHL players from the Caribbean. Last I checked there have been three: Andre Deveaux, Claude Vilgrain, and Graeme Townshend.

Anson carter is jamaican

[@Lets_Talk_About_Hockey]

@@alexyu1236 his parents were from Barbados, but he was born in Toronto per the NHL website, Hockey DB, Hockey Reference, and Wikipedia. So he has Caribbean heritage, but he is Canadian.

[@alexyu1236]

@@Lets_Talk_About_Hockey theres subban, mark fraser and trevor Daley. Just look up anson carter tou are right dunno I'd always thought he was part Jamaican

[@Lets_Talk_About_Hockey]

@@alexyu1236 again all three of those guys were born in Canada. Yes, they have Caribbean heritage, but when said "players from the Caribbean" in my original comment, I meant players who were actually born in a Caribbean country.

@@Lets_Talk_About_Hockey ok sorry I misunderstood then

¡Gracias! As a Mexican-American hockey fan I appreciate and thank you for this vid. Growing up in the 80s it was difficult to find a Hispanic nor Latino in the NHL. I was very happy when Gomez became a star in the NHL. 🤘🏼

[@casaxb9451]

We need to start a Spanish commentary channel to introduce more to fans to the sport.

Mexican- Spanish- Californian here rooting for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Great video! I really enjoyed it! And it's great the way you are developing a pretty cool niche based on hockey diversity.

[@hockeyxchange3]

Much appreciated! I hope to continue with more content that involves hockey diversity since it's not a topic that's popular nor the kind of content people would make, so stay tuned for more in the future!

[@JeffTheLeafsFan]

@@hockeyxchange3 You are doing good! And I'll be watching!

[@andrewsealy3875]

Great video dude

[@alexiscriollo2747]

I love the video it was amazing 🤩!! You forgot to mention Alec Martinez, Matt Nieto and José Théodore. Guerin wasn’t the first Hispanic to be drafted it was Ernie Vargas who participated in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft and he was selected by the Montréal Canadiens in the 117 selection.

[@Money-ui8xt]

Honduran 🇭🇳 hockey fan here in Montréal, in my family hockey has always been a big thing , a tradition ill surely pass on To my kids and introduce them at a early age since i never really had the opportunity to play it myself at a young age . Hope they like it and embrace the sport like me and my cousins did . Go habs Go 💯

[@oldaggieb9403]

Well done work, Your video's help me learn. Keep them coming

[@Edgrgo420]

I’m from east la and grew up playing hockey in Burbank for the Burbank bears I’m straight up Mexican brown and small, it was hard to find a team that supported and excepted me and my brother for being the only Mexicans in the league and division we saw it all but most important we found the love for the sport and many people who saw it the same as us I thank god for giving me and my brother the opportunity

[@Kingsy.]

Can you make an oiler video. that’s the team I cheer for maybe like a history video about the 80s oilers that dominated.

[@hockeyxchange3]

Definitely a good idea to look into about dynasties in the NHL!

[@cghicas18]

first. epic video

[@hockeyxchange3]

Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the content!

[@1Corinthians15.1-4]

I'm Nicaraguan myself in my mid-40s and played hockey when I was younger. Because of lack of connections, I wasn't able to get into the junior leagues in Canada. Oh well. Life goes on but it's nice to see others made it. 👍

[@alexl5660]

Very Beautiful Inspiring

[@retailberg9475]

Auston Matthews wont win a series with the leafs

[@hockeyxchange3]

Toronto just has the worst luck haha, but hopefully the team can make it pass round 1...eventually

[@alexyu1236]

They won a round and then the Stanley cup this season

[@thefives7ar]

A lot of these guys aren’t full blooded Hispanic or Latino. It’s a bit disingenuous when most of the surnames are European, the players are American, and they don’t identify as Hispanic.

[@xaviersilva9796]

You're absolutely Wrong your Sur Name means Nothing! My heritage is Nicaraguan but my DNA is 70 % European 30% Italian 10% German 10% British Isles 10% Slavic 8%Iberian 2%Scandinavian 30% American Native Indigenous from Mexico Colombia, Peru and Puerto Rico! I have 0 % Indigenous blood from Nicaragua because my European Nicaraguan Ancestors migration was to the Pacific side of Nicaragua where almost everyone had migrated from all over America and Europe but But both of my Parents and five Generations back were Nicaraguan My Sur Name would suggest that I'm Portuguese but I'm only 8% So Billy Guerin is Of Nicaraguan Culture his Mother that gave Birth to him is 100% Nicaraguan and her Surname is Delgadillo! He grew up eating Gallo Pinto! Vacation's to Nicaragua from his youth and has a lot of Nicaraguense Family in Miami! He is Definitely Nicaraguense and Irish American! He is along side two other Great Nicaraguan Sports Legends Hall of Famers Alexis Arguello and Dennis Martinez !

[@1Corinthians15.1-4]

​@@xaviersilva9796 Interesting details. Yeah even though Guerin is half Nicaraguan, he is 100% Nicoya.
