To me it is coming off as though you are saying they are equal/similar guys but people like the Canadian guys better because they have more recognizable names. People like the Canadian guys more because they are much better.
But perhaps I am miss reading your use of the word.

By sexier I mean more likely to have their name called by the play by play announcer, their plays are more noticeable shift to shift by the average fan. Can often make something out of nothing. Good skaters, good puck handlers, guys who will jump in the play and join the rush. Non-sexy guys can still be highly effective by having solid positioning, good first passes. Maybe be the trailer on a rush instead of leading it.
From my perspective a non-sexy offensive play would be a well placed shot from the point that generates a rebound that gets put in by a teammate. A comparable sexy offensive play would be Shea Weber shooting a hole through the top corner.
