adding on to previous great American-born players...
I think we could add
* Chris Chelios
* Brett Hull
* Brian Leetch
* Jeremy Roenick
...all of whom probably were (arguably) superstars in their prime. - SlightlyOffside
The father of that kid should be ashamed of himself. What a disgrace letting his kid cut Boesers hair with scissors, that is borderline assault the weird Dad put his 3 year old kid up too it. Boeser was caught off guard off course he didn't make a scene because of the kid, he's a class act. Just sick behaviour, why are there so many freaks in this world. Dads probably gonna sniff his hair now and save it, what a freak. Violation of Boeser I would not be cool with that. Players should have staff at players side as monitors to eliminate that type of freak fetish assault behavoir.

Agree with this sentiment. And I'd add Mike Modano to the list.
...but Brett Hull was actually born in Ontario. He's a dual citizen because his mom was American. Brett joined Team USA for the 1986 World Championship while he was in college, after being passed over by Canada.

Thanks Carol -- I had forgotten that! Would you take Mark Howe in trade, then?
Was trying to stir the pot and get some discussion going.
Always interesting to see who people consider to be superstars vs stars.
Edit: wouldn't let me quote Lefty in regards to superstar American players.

Brett Hull is never on my list of Americans because he was born a Canadian, in Ontario, and he spent the majority of his youth in Canada.

Sure. Very different type of player but dominant in his era. Never won a Norris but finished second three times, and finished third in Hart voting when he was a plus-85 (!) in 1985-86 with the Flyers.

Those mid 80's Flyers teams were so awesome, damn the Oilers and their drafting back then

I think you have to make one post and then you can quote.

I watched a number of his (Mark Howe's) games, never found him as controlling of the play as Orr, Robinson, Savard, Coffey, or Leetch. He was an effortless skater, very balanced and always in perfect position - rarely scored on (hence his +/-).
I loved that he and Marty had the chance to play with their father in the Whalers for Gordie's last season.
