    It's kinda sad that with all of the information out there, the blog's author really doesn't have a clue.

      I almost had a heart attack when I uncovered this story. I don’t know if the Toronto Greek community knows this, but apparently some of our compatriots there are apparently playing on the team of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

      As everyone knows ice hockey matches in Toronto, Canada, occur frequently between Greeks and FYROM-anians. We have a Greek team there entitled Hellenic Lightening, and the FYROM-anians have a team called MACEDONIAN LIONS. (Check this link for the photos of the team)

      If you check the roster of each team you will notice that in the Macedonian Lions team you will notice the names of: Jeff Angelides; Chris Balkos; Mike Georgiou; David Kiratzis; Tom Kostopoulos. Perhaps someone should inform them that they are Greek! The full list can be found by clicking here

      And click here to view the names on the Hellenic Lightening Team, as well as the other teams playing in this league.

      They are PLAYING FOR THE WRONG TEAM!

      It would be nice if someone from the Toronto community can give us an insight on this.

      I am sorry for making this personal, but the news is totally appalling to me. I have no hate for the citizens of FYROM, but knowing that their government continues to provoke Greek sentiment by claiming that the star of Vergina is theirs, or that Alexander the Great was a Slav... cannot be ignored. I respect and honor my history for it to be otherwise.

      Shame... on these hockey players in Toronto. It is one thing to advance your career, and I totally agree with that, and understand it, but I would never sacrifice the respect I have for Greece's history in order to do so...

      Doesn't filotimo exist anymore?

        When your only audience is your very own ()the blog is for Greek consumption naturally) it shows how a Greek can’t see their very own hypocrisy and hate

            i love the fact that she seems to think she's uncovered a conspiracy!

            the comments are well worth reading.

            Marina,
            You must be completely out to lunch if you thing Greeks are playing on the Macedonian hockey team to advance their careers! What a joke. It just shows your astounding ignorance about our people. The vast majority of Macedonian people in Canada originate from Aegean Macedonia, the piece of territory which became occupied by Greece for the first time in history in 1913. Many Aegean Macedonians retain Hellenized names that were forced upon their families by the fascist Greek state and church in those days. It does not mean they are Greeks, like how the fact that you speak English doesn't mean you are from England, or the fact that Alexander the Macedonian spoke Hellenic koine - like much of the world did in those days - did not make him a Hellene.

            You put a smile on my face when you wrote "Aegean" Macedonia... that was indeed funny. I do not want and/or wish to get into a debate with you about this, that is for diplomats to do... not common everyday people. I understand that you are defending what you believe is to be true, but I beg to differ, because all the evidence says otherwise... and because you and I are not diplomats, but rather citizens that both love our nations, take only this into consideration that Tito baptized your country by that name in 1944... because until then it was called Vardaska. Every single history book on the face of this planet says that. Ancient writings, teachings, money, monuments... everything. I have great respect for your former leader Kiro Gligorov who openly admitted that your people have no connection whatsoever with Greece and our history. Once you come to realize that this whole dispute is just the fanaticism of people who want to re-design the boarders in the Balkans, then you will be more accepting of what the facts are. Until then, obviously you will shut your ears to the evidence. So therefore, any comments hereafter are worthless in my opinion. Greece is not a hostile country, but rather is filled with very friendly people with open hearts, but we do not like when people step on our kindness, as I am sure you do not like it for your nation. My friend... to put it in short... history cannot be re-written, unwritten and/or ignored.... it can only be interpreted. And if you choose to interpret it this way, that is fine... but the facts are the facts.

                This frappe sipping airhead is quite the racist, with absolutely no knowledge in the matter at hand. He/she/it seems to have swallowed the Greek propaganda, hook, line and sinker. Yet seems to have been schooled in one of the countries with the highest living standards in the world, with an ample opportunity to get a first class education. Still he/she/it spouts this utter crap, horrendous!

                          Are, you asking me if Steven Stamkos is Greek? Father, Risto is from Armensko, Lerin and mother English.
