I didn't do pro players in general because I wasn't that bored, but I assume more Finnish players than Canadian players opt to play in Europe rather than playing low on the depth chart in the NHL.

No point really, also, I don't always math well so if anyone fact checks that and I was off, feel free to roast me.

Isn't it also true that Finland and Canada are the only 2 countries where hockey is the number 1 sport? I recall hearing that even in places like Sweden, Russia, and Czechia, soccer beats hockey in popularity.

That’s interesting. Where did the U.S. rank? What others ranked high?
