The advantage that America might have in terms of population is offset by the advantage that Canada has in terms of climate.
NHL.com has 858 skaters listed. 452 Canadians, 168 Americans.
IF you look at the NHLs top scorers. 8 of the top 10 were Canadian. The top Americans? Drury and Blake clocking in at a tie for 45th.
There is a LONG way to go before the US surpasses Canada as the premier hockey nation.
I think we're more likely to see a resurgence coming outta russia in the near future then the US coming close to Canada.
