Interestingly enough, if you do the math I believe Canada’s population versus percentage of players is a higher ratio than Sweden. I just quickly looked at the numbers and did the math in my head so I could be wrong.

It must be really cool to come from a country where hockey is the number one sport. I don’t know where it is here in the US right now…4th or 5th?
I didn’t forget about Canada…I kind of take that for granted.

I’ve always wondered how many players who play in overseas leagues (KHL, SHL, etc.) that could play in the NHL but choose not to.

I know hockey fans are sensitive despite pretending to be tough, but this isn’t good for hockey lol.

Are we really amazed that people who have access to ice in their yards and public parks are disproportionately represented in the NHL? **Ice time is expensive.**
