We all now that the Russia, better say the former Soviet Union always has been a big big hockey-nation, the last 50 years. So has the Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia).
What strikes me is that why just these (former Warsaw-pact) countries ?
Why isn´t Hungary, Romania or Poland a great hockey country ?
The same for Sweden and Finland. Why aren´t Norway or Denmark ?
All these countries (especially the eastern europe ones) have a great hockey-tradition, but some of their "neighbours" just don´t.
I know it´s a longshot, but why is that ??
