The best players in the US come from the upper midwest states.
Agree - total desecration of the game. I'm so glad I had my 5 years in Canada and actually played there. When it comes to hockey I think Canada and the US North East should be absorbed into one country....
yeh I have to agree, Americans used to suck at hockey. We would pound them every year, no offence. It was counted as an easy win over them at one point. But now I am very impressed with their current players and younger players yet to arrive into the NHL. They are just getting better and better every year. Perhaps one day the best.........in the future.
I also have to say I have been impressed, to a slightly lesser degree, with Finland's teams and players over the last few years.
I remember playing adult league in Fort Erie Ont. There were guys there who were tremendous players and for one reason or another never had a good shot at advancing beyond juniors.
Even though the game's popularity has really taken off in the US, I was in awe while living outside Montreal and having about 5 rinks within a 3 mile radius of my house!
