Yup. Park is Korean-American. I found an article about him from last years World tournament where he played for team USA. His family moved to California as a young kid, then spent his teen years playing junior hockey in Canada. Tony reminded me he did a few shifts in Philly- MN picked him up as a free agent.

Its great to see hockey (slowly) grow in diversity and appeal. US hockey, womens hockey. And great young black players making their mark- like Iginla, Anson Carter tearing up and down the ice with his evergrowing dreadlocks makes me smile.
