Does it mean, Russians don't use the site?

 

[Peeps]

I use it every single day. I'm from Canada. This site is gold. Thank you EP.

Putin must hide their people behind some firewall...

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Wow the UK that high.

Cyrillic vs English characters are likely a contributing factor.

Too busy hacking American's computers and thus accessing it from the USA.

Wow the UK that high.

Hockey has quite a good cult following in the UK, especially with probably many NA transplants there as well. It's just that their leagues' and development system is in shambles. EIHL is filled with an insane amount of foreigners who clog the spots for local players and the secondary league called the NIHL where majority of the English players are is too irregular in talent level to get any development from. The guy in charge of UK's hockey federation thinks that every single ice arena in England, Scotland, and North Ireland deserves to have a team. So you get a wide variation of talent levels where the great players smoke the bad clubs while never developing and bad players can never develop into better players.

Me and my friends account for the UK traffic

I assume that Russians use some Russian language site for this. In general, many people in Russia aren't that good at English so I imagine that's a contributing factor.

On Eliteprospects, it's my main source and I use it a lot, but it really has some serious flaws when it comes to the Finnish junior leagues so unfortunately I can't use it for Finland.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Well it is in english... If it was solely in swedish it would be weird.

Just like Russians are rare on hfboards. Most russian posters here have a migration background

But what surprises you? The site(eliteprospects) is very NHL oriented.

For Russian hockey I like to use r-hockey.ru. A lot more detailed instead of EP having just "Russia U17". But in general, EP is the best resource out for junior hockey.

 

[Thrasymachus]

This is my go to website for stats

 

[vippe]

EP is a great site, my go to site together with Hockeyreference.

 

[NA Hockey]

For North Americans, it really has become the go to site for information.

 

[rt]

I use it probably five times a week.

 

[klozge]

It's my first stop when I want to know more about a player who's not in the NHL (yet). It never disappoints.

 

[S E P H]

Wow, Italy? That's quite the shock to see it at 14th considering majority of their clubs are in the North.

Isn't the President of Turkmenistan a big hockey fan and trying to force hockey on this country?
