Aleksandar "Alex" Nedeljković who is a goal keeper and is a member of junior national team of the USA.
This boy from Ohio plays for Canadian team "Niagara Ice Dogs" and he proudly wears his origin - he has famous four letters "S" on his helmet.
- Despite my birth in America, I know who I am. I am proud of my origin. My grandparents are from a village near the town of Ljubovija. I have cousins there - said Nedeljković in the interview for "Kurir" news agency, adding that the old Serbian coat of arms brings him good luck.
- I was born on Christmas 1996, which in my opinion is a good sign. My family celebrates St. Nicholas and I respect our tradition - said the young hockey player, who said laughing that he better understands Serbian language than he speaks it.
He was in Serbia for the last time when he was a kid and he promised he would come as soon as he has a longer vacation.
His father is a big supporter of FC "Partizan" and he is also more inclined to the "black-and-whites".
