From Wild Nation:
Yes, it is the famous (or infamous) March 17th. The day where public intoxication becomes not just acceptable, but expected. So, we here at Wild Nation have decided to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by putting together a small tribute to our favorite Wild player and resident Irishman, Owen Nolan.
Nolan was born in Belfast, Ireland on February 12, 1972. His family soon moved to Canada, where Nolan began playing hockey at the age of nine.

Many of us don’t distinguish Ireland from Northern Ireland for a reason!

hmm...when are people going to understand that Belfast isn;t Ireland, it’s Northen Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom…
it’s part of the island of Ireland, but isn’t actually part of the country Ireland…
