What is Stamkos' ethnic background?

[rajvandam]

i heard stamkos is part punjabi!!....cant remember where i heard that.....i think some one saying that he's related manny malhotra

 

[Courage*]

Anyone know what nationality (if any) he belongs to?

Canadian

I think I read somewhere that he is half macedonian and half scottish.

Yes. I went to high school with his father. At the same age Chris was a ringer for Steven ... the one light-haired Greek or Macedonian in Little Athens (East York). And both Chris's parents were raised on feta. Mom is a mangecake, Scottish background, sorta mixed.

The East York joke: What's the difference between a Greek and a Macedonian? A Macedonian doesn't own a restaurant.

 

[NewFang]

Don't ever, ever, ever call a Macedonian a Greek.

I know Stevens family a little, am a distant cousin of Staios, and they are both MACEDONIAN, not greek
Listen what Bob Mackenzie says at the draft

My cousin hangs out with his sister, and she looks just like him...so doubtful.

I don't think she looks all that much like him. When I saw her at the draft I thought she was pretty damned hot. Steve is not an attractive young man. Then again, perhaps it was his girlfriend, and not his sister, that I noticed.

I believe the OP's question has been answered.
