That's not even close to true. Not sure who the leading Asian-born scorer is in history but Richard Park has 241 pts....quite a bit more than the 12pts Kravtsov has.Idk about Japanese but little known fact; Vitali Kravtsov is the all time leading Asian-born scorer in NHL history.
Lmao I don't know how on earth this thing had him ranked #1 then, I sorted by place of birth on some stat site and he was the top. Still interesting that he's born in Asia though, I was friends with a girl in high school from the same city as him, right on the border with China & North Korea; on the coast of the Sea of Japan. Only NHL player from thereThat's not even close to true. Not sure who the leading Asian-born scorer is in history but Richard Park has 241 pts....quite a bit more than the 12pts Kravtsov has.
I guess Kariya has Japanese heritage on his father's side, but it's not like he'd be able to play for Team Japan....he has no citizenship I'm assuming. His father was born in Canada, so you are going back a long time.Paul Kariya.
"Kariya is half-Japanese through his father, Tetsuhiko. T.K. — as he was better known as — was born in a World War II-era incarceration camp in Greenwood, British Columbia, on Aug. 6, 1943."

Hall of Famer Paul Kariya brought the NHL one of its first Asian stars
Paul Kariya, who won gold for Canada at the Olympics, was inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame in November.www.nbcnews.com
It's always interesting to look at a map and see the divide line between Europe and Asia for Russia....of course, almost all NHL players would fall on the Europe side.....so maybe that's where this comes from....highest scoring Asian born Russian player.Lmao I don't know how on earth this thing had him ranked #1 then, I sorted by place of birth on some stat site and he was the top.

He's completely caucasian IIRC. His parents just really liked Dragonball.Akira Schmid got to be the best goalie at least? Is he half-Japanese, half-Swiss? Or how does this go?
I completely forgot about forward Paul Kariya. Man, he was fast.
Or the wife screwed up and said let me name this one you get to name the next one.He's completely caucasian IIRC. His parents just really liked Dragonball.
It's best not to admit (as this thread seems to) that Paul Kariya was A) completely forgotten about in all things hockey and B) with respect to his Japanese heritage. Just saying.Akira Schmid got to be the best goalie at least? Is he half-Japanese, half-Swiss? Or how does this go?

Oh! I stand corrected then!He's completely caucasian IIRC. His parents just really liked Dragonball.
Nik Antropov is from Kazakhstan, he played for a club there before getting drafted and competed for them internationally. Over 400 NHL points.Idk about Japanese but little known fact; Vitali Kravtsov is the all time leading Asian-born scorer in NHL history.
Unrelated to the topic at hand but I believe Olaf Kolzig is the highest scoring African born playerIdk about Japanese but little known fact; Vitali Kravtsov is the all time leading Asian-born scorer in NHL history.
Nick Antropov definitely has a decent shot at that title with 465 points. Funny enough both other NHL players from his town - Khudobin and Nabokov - are goalies.That's not even close to true. Not sure who the leading Asian-born scorer is in history but Richard Park has 241 pts....quite a bit more than the 12pts Kravtsov has.
