I know there were some efforts to bring diaspora Greeks together but I'm not sure what happened. I haven't heard about this in about 10 years. There were always some players with Greek origins in the NHL.

 

I just did some research and there still are:

23 yo Trevor Zegras of the Anaheim Ducks, born in New York to Greek parents

29 yo Andreas Athanasiou of the Chicago Blackhawks, born in Toronto to a Greek father and Guyanese mother

 

There's also Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who is a very successful player and already played for Canada so would not be eligible for Greece. However, his family does not even identify as Greek despite his surname and his father's side being from Florina (border town of  and , the town has a complicated history from the Greek Civil War which I will not bore you with).

 

Anyways I'm sure there are more Greeks from USA and Canada in lower levels of hockey who would be willing to play for the national team if needed. Hopefully an effort is made so we can be competitive.

Sadly, it appears to be quite late for Paris 2024 though

 

Nah, he always was a monster and a true machine, I remember him doing regularly the Tour de France full mountains stages just for fun during summer preparation
