John Ive Sulentic, also known as Ive Sulentic or Johnny Sulentic (born 24 December 1979) is a Canadian former professional soccer player who last played for Croatia SC and currently coaches the Under-12 team of Mountain WFC.
Sulentic attended Matthew McNair Secondary School and Edwardsville High School.
He began his professional career in 1999 with Vancouver Whitecaps. He broke the USL assist record in his rookie year, with 19 helpers. In 2001, he became Vancouver's all-time assist leader in the post CSL era. In 2002 Sulentic had two trials with Dinamo Zagreb but could not find a place. The Whitecaps offered him a contract in 2005 to play in the USL, but he wanted more money so he moved to German third league side St. Pauli in 2005. In one year in Hamburg he played 24 games and scored 2 goals.
He was later re-signed by Vancouver but did not play a competitive match. In December 2007 he left Vancouver Whitecaps and joined amateur club Croatia S.C, before retiring in July 2009.
Sulentic represented Canada at the 1998 CONCACAF U-19 Qualification Tournament (Canada did not qualify for the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship). He was 24 years old when he won his first cap with Canada's senior team on 18 January 2004 in Bridgetown, a 1:0 win over Barbados and he represented Canada at the 2000 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualification Tournament.
His final international was a November 2005 friendly match against Luxembourg.
In 2009, Sulentic began his coaching career training the Under-12 Boys of Mountain WFC besides working as Head Coach at Euro Pro Football Academy.
