Legends of Hockey -- NHL Player Search -- Player -- Nikos Tselios
|
|
|
In spite of the spelling, Nikos' surname is pronounced the same as that of his cousin, Chris Chelios. Born in Oak Park, Illinois on January 20, 1979, Nikos decided to go the Canadian junior route on his hockey career path, first joining the Belleville Bulls, then finishing his junior career as a member of the Plymouth Whalers. In the 1997 Entry Draft, Tselios was the first selection of the Carolina Hurricanes. Nikos spent two seasons with Cincinnati of the IHL, then joined Lowell of the AHL in 2001-2002. That season, Tselios played 2 games with the Hurricanes. There are large expectations of Nikos, partly because of his size (6'5", 210 pounds) and certainly because of his name, but Tselios is developing steadily and should be a blueline force like his cousin Chris for many years to come.
