Since the 2022 Winter Olympics are scheduled to start one year from today, we thought it would be fun to put together some information that shows how truly international the NHL has become. We pulled every current NHL player’s birth place from hockey-reference.com to get a better understanding of where players are from.
Below is a Google Map with every NHL player mapped to his birthplace.
For those of you who want some facts you can spew off to impress friends, below and to the left is a table that lists the number of players by country. Below and to the right is a table that shows the number of players by city.
