I'm not sure how many NHL players are American citizens!

My educated guess is about 25%. The rest come from countries where the Rats would be right at home.

Hockey players as a group are the last of the unaffected professional atheletes. I happened to visit my niece (she's home and fine today) in United-Children's Hospital Pediatric ICU ward last week - what an eye opener. Apparently members of the Wild front office and their players are regular visitors and financial donors to that Wing. The toughest guys on that squad ... Blouin, Johnson, Brown, Marshall and Audette are the most regular visitors of all.
