Canada is most likely by far the best hockey country out there....
Finland, Sweden, Russia, Slovakia, USA, they all come relatively close to each other and all have some prime players out there. |

there are 400 NHL players
most of them aren't even star players
most countries have more than 400 people who are good at hockey |
