Recently, there’s been speculation that Yukon Rush winger Arnor Sigurdsson is related to current Kingston Mountie (and Vancouver Vandals prospect) Thor Sigurdsson. Sure, both are Icelandic athletes that are tall, imposing, and strong, but are they actually related? We contacted both Arnor and Thor, and here’s what they had to say. 

 

Arnor: “Sure, I’ve heard of Thor Sigurdsson. It’s nice to see another Icelander succeed in a sport not many Icelandic people play, but we’re not related. I’m taller and weigh more than he does, and my parents didn’t have twins. Maybe he’s a cousin or something, but I’ve honestly no idea if we are related. Most likely, we aren’t. It would be nice if we are though. The man’s a beast.”

 

Thor: “I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ARNOR SIGURDSSON. HE IS A MERE MORTAL AND IN NO WAY IS RELATED TO ME, THOR, THE MIGHTY GOD OF THUNDER. I’M SURE HE’S A DELUSIONAL MAN WHO IS FAKING BEING ICELANDIC. ONLY TRUE VIKINGS COME FROM ÍSLAND!” 

 

So, I guess they aren’t related. Would’ve been a nice story, but ehh, looks like our fantasies will stay fantasies.
