Statistically speaking, do the Canadian teams have a higher % of Canadian players than the American teams?

Question

I'm going to do a count. So far I'm working on the Eastern Conference. I'll post results on my 360 Blog. Why not take a guess?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. Of the teams left, Anaheim has the highest Can Con and Detroit the lowest.

Answer 2

Such a high percentage of hockey players in general are Canadian, but with players changing teams so often the percentage changes all the time. All I know is that the Devils have a higher percentage of American players than most teams :P

Answer 3

I also have a pair fashionable communities from the U. S.: Boston Bruins have a guy from my native land, gotta bypass with the ole roots :P boy Adam McQuaid, additionally the San Jose sharks have a stable center, now with Marleau, Havlat, Thornton, Burns, Niemi, Pavelski, remarkable group to declare the least BQ: i can't extremely answer that ultimate now, as an Oilers fan, i'm able to humbly say that we've been the worst final 365 days, notwithstanding with such countless communities making differences and dropping celebrity gamers, shout out to Brad Richards, i will would desire to look ahead to a pair weeks into the season to make an assumption on who the worst group is

Answer 4

There is no correlation between Canadian and american teams and percentage of players from that particular country. While canadian players still form the majority of players in the NHL the ratio has gotten smaller over the years. With all of the different countries represented in the NHL these days, teams draft and sign the best available players with no thoughts as to where they are from.

Answer 5

No they don't, but I believe all of the teams have more Canadians players than any other players.

And I'm almost dead certain that there are more Canadians on the Cup than any other nationality. I mean that should be pretty obvious to any hockey fan, but I thought I'd point it out anyway.

Answer 6

no, and if one or two do, its coincidence, theres not thought towards nationality. Actually youll notice canadian franchises are built around europeans (Naslund, Sundin, Alfredsson, Koivu) All the Canadians seem to be captains of US franchises haha. Interestin fact: 30 years ago, 75% of players in the league were canadian. Down now of course but still pretty awesome. I wish canadian teams had higher % of canadian players cuz we have amazin ****** players.

Answer 7

Yes actually they do by at least 50
% more
