Answer 1

mario comes from super Mario land

Answer 2

Lemieux is obviously French. Crosby....English? Somewhere in the UK...one of those countries, I'm guessing....

Answer 3

mario lemieux comes from the land of greatness, cindy crosby comes from the land of full diapers, and empty botbots.

Answer 4

Crosby is an irish surname, and Sid's middle name is "Patrick" which wouldn't hurt my theory that he his of irish descent.

Lemieux is french-canadian, obviously he is from Montreal, but his parents both have french names, so I would guess his ancestry would trace back to french-ish connections.

Those are both just "educated guesses".

Answer 5

Lemieux- FRENCH

SID- IRELAND

Answer 6

I've always thought of them being French Canadian. But Go Pens. makes a point.
