So basically a smaller talent pool considering hockey is still somewhat of a niche sport, dominated by wealthy people that can pay for the training and all the travel?

But I also find the number of cousins interesting. Just off the top of my head, Horvat and Konecny, Lindholm and Jarnkrok, Phill Kessel and David Moss, Wendel Clark, Joey Kocur, Chandler Stephenson and Barry Melrose (a four-way), Keith Tkachuk and Tom Fitzgerald, Jaros and Cernak....

I am sure there are tonnes more.
