My name is Jelena Kordic and I would like to find out more about John Kordic as I first heard about him on thi web page. I am from Belgrade,Yougoslavia

Hi, Jelena. John was an enforcer in ice hockey, which meant that he just fought people in games. He was by all accounts a very nice man, who got caught up in the drugs, which made him very strange. He was a great warning to many hockey players and young Canadians/Quebecois abuot the dangers of drug use.Habsfannova 14:51, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Jelena, his parents are from area near Mostar. Ivan and Regina. Croats. 195.29.161.70 11:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SOURCES

Great writing if writing a biography, but there still need to be sources. I remember when he died. I was 12. It was in a motel I believe. Anyway, better citations, please!

[edit] Cause of death

I don't recall a policeman having 'killed' Kordic. I thought it was the 'drugs' Kordic was on. GoodDay 22:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] He's Croatian

He does look part Native, but his name is Croatian (Kordic), and on one site it says his uncle was a Yugoslav professional soccer player. He was buried in a Croatian church in Alberta. I'm guessing at the very least his father is Croatian. His mother doesn't look more Native than Croatian. On one site tho, it says, he was half Native. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cold water (talk • contribs) 00:18, 19 July 2007

Regina - native? Kubura 14:12, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

How is Regina more Croat than Native? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.159.122.117 (talk • contribs) 03:37, 20 July 2007

I don't know how many American Natives have name Regina, but I know how many Croats have that name (female name, dedicated to Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace; ita. Regina = Queen). Croats in Littoral have such names. Search online phonebooks. Kubura 12:19, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
