Actually the western Canadian teams have fared well over the past few seasons.
Vancouver picked up stecher
Edmonton picked up Benning
Winnipeg picked up Tanev
And of course flames have had success too.
There does seem to be a bias towards American born players and USA teams however there are teams from western Canada succeeding in attracting college ufas (and ones that pan out)
