There are different ways you could interpret the thread title (one simply being most nationalities represented), but I was noticing that last season's (2022-23) San Jose Sharks had an impressively internationally diverse and internationally balanced line-up. Just going by Hockey Ref.'s birth countries:
14 x Canada
11 x USA
6 x Sweden
4 x Czech Republic
4 x Russia
2 x Finland
1 x Swizerland
1 x Germany
1 x UK (but he grew up in Canada as a Canadian)
________
So, that's 9 countries represented in the line-up, including all the "main" ones. Toss in a Swiss, a German, and even a UK (birth)!
Which teams have been equally or more diverse in balance and/or in countries represented?
