Are there any Muslims in the NHL Past or Present.?

Answer 1

Unknown by me at this point since players' religious affiliations are not a matter of importance to teams or fans. I suspect there probably were. There was a player named Ramzi Abid drafted several years ago. He played for only a short while in the NHL and is now playing in Europe. He is a Canadian citizen and while I don't mean to generalize, his name would suggest that he might be Muslim. I have heard ,as well, that Martin Straka, now back in his native Czech Republic, is Muslim . Maybe someone can confirm that for me.
