A big hit no doubt.
The Russians should have been a part of it.
Alex Ovechkin did not have a chance to participate in the tournament.
Are there enough Russian players in the NHL to field a team?
They did North America vs. Rest of the World one year.
At the time 52% of the NHL’s players were Canadian.
I don’t recall how many American.
Oleg Kolzig (sp?) was born in Africa. I don’t believe he’s still playing.
There were a couple of Asian players in the league - South Korea, I think.
