there's a reason most nhl players are not from north america.

    Pretty sure Canada and US players combined make up about ~70% of active NHL players, with Canada making up about 41% and the US roughly about 28%. Sweden looks to be in the number three spot with about 9%.

    yup, i was wrong. stats for totals rather than active are hard to find, annoyingly.

    But highest amount of NHL players per capita and suddenly the top three is Finland, Sweden and Canada, while USA falls way behind.

    Even though it's the "Nation" in the "National Hockey League".
