Using birthplace only, and the city proper only (as I have no idea which suburbs of Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal especially qualify), I come up with the following for players on NHL rosters
today:
Edmonton: 27
Toronto: 16
Calgary: 14
Montreal: 13
Winnipeg: 8
Vancouver: 8
Ottawa: 7
Hamilton: 3
Quebec City: 2
Obvoiusly Ottawa (Gatineau, Kanata), Toronto (many), Montreal (many), Vancouver (Burnaby, etc.) are quite under represented without using suburbs. Calgary (Airdrie, Strathmore) and Edmonton (Fort Saskatchewan - oddly, nobody listed as born in St. Albert) suffered a bit too.
