AJA Les Canadiens ont répéché un Vénézuélien en 1ère ronde (10ieme total ) en 1974 …. il n’y a eu aucun autre joueur du Vénézuela dans la LNH depuis.

I have this card.
Il est né au Venezuela, mais c’est un Américain. Il a déménagé à l’âge de trois ans.
[Don Spring was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela](https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=5108) and played 4 seasons with the Winnipeg Jets. From 1980-1984 as a defenceman.
Dude still holds the record for the most career games in the NHL (259) by a player with only one career goal.
Rick Chartraw was also the first American selected in the first round of an nhl draft.
And in 1977, in the second round, they drafted the first player born in Taiwan.
Tu doit être un vénézuélien. Il n’y a rien qui peut améliorer plus la journée de ma blonde que trouver un autre vénézuélien durant nos courses.
Y’etait un peu sul party Rick Chartraw
Richard Chartrand
Se disputait avec Bill Nyrop pour le titre de joueur le moins important du CH à la fin des années 70.
Rick and I were pals during the Habs cup winning runs in the late ’70’s
We played squash as he was riding the pine under Bowman & wanted some extra work to stay in shape
Went to Toe Blakes tavern a few times for lunch and hit the Wanda Bar to see the peelers a couple of times too!!
He was born in Venezuela, like me. But I don’t consider myself Venezuelan. I’m of Portuguese descent. Just like Rod Langway. He was born in Taiwan but I don’t think he’s Chinese. Just my two cents.
