I feel like you could have chosen better cutoffs. I also don’t know which colour 16-20 is supposed to be.

Surprised that California has so many players relative the other western states, but also I’m assuming that’s just because they have such a higher population

I’m curious to see an identical map for other pro sports

Can’t really say enough about how little KSE has done for youth hockey in Colorado, especially compared to the teams in California.

Now do the rest of the world.

I’m pretty sure the only NHL player from Arizona is Auston Matthews.

Surprised the PNW states like Washington and Oregon don’t have more players – don’t they have a long hockey history?

Literally almost all Canadian. Go Canada!

Over 2000 guys from Oklahoma made the NHL?

East Coast Canada needs to step its game up

And yet the most popular player in Ontario is the one from Arizona

I guess this is all time?

Is Zac jones the only player from Virginia?

I live in Kansas and can’t think of a single player that made it to the NHL.

This seems very wrong. Also terrible colour scheme.

Bad chart, dark and dark representing both low and high doesn’t work, just makes it hard to read ffs

There’s NHL players from the ocean? Aquaman on skates, fr?

Here’s the 5 from Utah:
Trevor Lewis — moved to Colorado when he was 14.
Steve Konawalchuk — moved to Canada when he was 15.
Dylan Olsen — moved to Canada when he was 14.
Richard Bachman — moved to Colorado as a kid (unsure of the age but it would have been no later than 14)
Daniel Brickley — Played 2 years of high school hockey in salt lake (and won 2 state championships) and then I believe he moved to Canada at 17 to play juniors.
Fun fact: Olsen’s dad played minor league hockey in salt lake and Brinkley’s dad refereed many of those games.

What players are from Virginia?

I’m having a slight issue believing Quebec has such a dramatic lead over everyone else. I understand Montreal is there, but still.

That chart makes the plight of the Toronto Maple Leafs even funnier.

The only way Canada can win a cup with Bettman in charge.
Just load up the US teams with Canadians.
Just out of curiosity, who’s the player from Hawaii?
I’m curious what this looks like adjusted for population to show what % of the population of each province/state makes it to the NHL
This chart should be handed out to every parent of a kid in the US who plays travel hockey.
Only if these areas had a name
I’m not a Canadian but holy shit Quebec needs a team again 😳
This makes me cry. Like fuck why can’t wr have the cup here more often.

How do they define “from?” Birthplace? A lot of NHLers have a pretty nomadic childhood moving to different areas to play juniors and what not.
I’m surprised at some of the states. Like Wyoming and Arkansas have produced double digit NHL players?
Really surprised to see so many players from New Mexico.
