Editors note: I didn’t exactly explain how or why Setoguchi declined after his great start, his decline actually came from a combination of alcohol abuse and depression and was unfortunate 😥 nowadays he’s recovering and doing a lot better!
I remember seeing Park’s OT goal back in 2003. That was the first real big moment for that franchise. And Kariya was just an amazing player. It is such a bummer that he was never able to lift the Cup, but I am glad he was inducted into the Hall. Nice video! Keep it up, my friend!
This is a really cool vid! I’m Filipino American and I had no idea that Dumba was Filipino. That’s really cool! I really hope you an update video in the future on Asian descent because now Jason Robertson is from Filipino descent (plays on the Dallas Stars) and his brother Nick (plays on the Toronto Maple Leafs) but he plays in the AHL for now!
I definitely will be making an updated video on it soon cause a lot of milestones and historical moment have happened the past couple years with asian players that played in the NHL!
Growing up in the 90s and seeing Mighty Ducks movie in the first place to really love hockey, it was natural for me to love the Ducks, and cherry on top when I figured out that Paul Kariya was a Japanese descent like myself through search on his bio through AOL. And he wasn't just a 'regular' player, he became a HOFer, an inspiration to a lot, regardless of ethnic background.
I was 10 years old, watching Jim Paek live the dream of taking a pass from Lemieux and scoring in the finals. It made him one of my all time favorites. For those who dont know hockey, he is what is called a "true defenseman." He is to protect his own goal, not put up flashy scoring numbers. When team Korea bowed to him in the Olympics, I shed a tear. A great moment for hockey. I hope Korean hockey grows and he gets Hall of Fame recognition as a builder. Lots of people my age in pittsburgh will light up when his name is mentioned. List of favorites from those Cup teams always include him.
Appreciative to share your own experiences witnessing him play! He definitely deserves some recognition for building hockey in South Korea & for Asian hockey players for sure!
It’s nice knowing there’s a Filipino player in the NHL. Being a Filipino hockey fan I feel like a fish out of water, cause I don’t know other Filipinos that like this sport. If only they knew Matt Dumba.
Definitely! There’s a few more things to update about Matt Dumba’s profile since last season which I may make in another video but it’s always great to see fans and players from other ethnicities enjoy the sport of hockey!
I’m Mexican and I love hockey but one thing that has always bugged me is the lack of POC players in the league, but i understand hockey isn’t that popular. So I’m asking you, if you can please do more videos like these especially one on Hispanic/Latino players in the NHL. Thank you.
Definitely!!! I’m currently in the works of many more videos talking about players and diversity of the game!! Hopefully I am able to release more in batches!
In my opinion and I'm Asian. If there's a fantastic Asian player around. He will be hired! He might need to be more outstanding, good looking, a role model...etc but there's definitely a place for them. They just need to live up to the standard. They need to stand out period. It's simple, look at the Olympics figure skating... So many Asians right? Because they exist in that category. I don't see many Asian play hockey at all.
Yup, There are definitely a lot of players I wanted to include such as Brandon Yip, or current players such as Jason Robertson! I plan to make a part 2 or similar video and Yip is one of the players I want to talk about 😊
Scott Steven’s elbow on Kariya was dirty. Stevens was always a dirty player. He always tried to maim his opponents. He practically ended Lindros’ career.
Haha they said white man’s sport 😅 i remember back in my teen days and early twenties most of the white guys i knew that didnt get to play football 🏈 or basketball 🏀 were really trying to get their asian friends to just get into hockey 🏒 🥅 👍👍

He's a really really cool guy to talk to. Hes a gym owner now and always on the sharks channel. Doing well for sure
@@shhhhsecrethaha yeah! I heard 👍
I love Paul Kariya. He was an amazing player and so humble about it.
He was! He was always putting others before him and always made sure his teammates were also recognized too!

@@hockeyxchange3 ok sweet!! :)
I really liked Jim Paek, he was a solid if not flashy defenseman. Wish he would have stuck in the NHL longer.
I wish I was around back when he played, would’ve been so cool to see him play along with Lemieux and the Penguins!

What about Taro Tsujimoto

Good job! I really like your videos.
You should check your numbers on Kariya’s record in playoffs, though.
Growing up loving hockey and being Asian. These were my FAVORITE players growing up 🙏🙏
Thanks for putting this together! Very cool vid!
Thank you! I appreciate it very much! Be on a lookout for a new video coming soon!!!

Paul Karıya and Steve Karıya would be so amazing in this era.
They would have! Imagine if they didn’t play during the peak of the Dead Puck era, with their skills and speed they’d be amazing in today’s NHL!
Yes definitely.
Setoguchi! My favorite ✌️😎🦈🏒
He was one of my favorites growing up watching hockey as well!
Met him and Torrey Mitchel in 2008 at HP Pavilion and got Seto’s signature on my Sharks jersey!

Austin matthews
Actually in the works in honor of Hispanic heritage month! 😉
@@hockeyxchange3 :) 👍🏼🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Video of Hispanic players is finally here! th-cam.com/video/T8cNjujaKBg/w-d-xo.html
Paul Kariya still had an amazing career
Paul Kariya also has a younger brother, Steve, who also played in the NHL.
Thinking about making a video of him! He also has another brother Martin Kariya who was part of the St Louis Blues minor league affiliate!
Thanks for using my music in your video❤️
I really enjoyed your rendition of the soundtrack!
What about Brandon Yip? He played for the Ava.
He was on the league for a bit too 🙂 I hope to cover him in another video when I make a second part!
Being Filipino, you may want to update this for the Robertsons.
Definitely!!! There’s a lot more players I plan on including for a future video! Stay tuned for it 😇
Peter Ing maple leafs, oilers goalie
Yes! He’s someone I want to talk about when I make a part 2 in the future!
Jonas Siegenthaler (New Jersey) is Thai-Swiss.
In my opinion and I'm Asian. If there's a fantastic Asian player around. He will be hired!

I don't see many Asian play hockey at all.
Brandon Yip?

they've joined the wild at least once most of them LOL
Haha, believe it or not that would actually be kinda the reason why I made this video 😅
How about Yutaka Fukufuji the first asian NHL goalie.
He’s a player I’ll cover hopefully in the future!
INTRESTING
I ONLY KNOW RICHARD PARK
Scott Steven’s elbow on Kariya was dirty. Stevens was always a dirty player. He always tried to maim his opponents. He practically ended Lindros’ career.
wow penguins respecting the asians
They sure did pretty early on, coincidentally both from South Korea, it’s awesome to see these players getting the chance to play in the NHL!
Haha they said white man’s sport 😅 i remember back in my teen days and early twenties most of the white guys i knew that didnt get to play football 🏈 or basketball 🏀 were really trying to get their asian friends to just get into hockey 🏒 🥅 👍👍
