Without crunching numbers, I'm pretty confident that Switzerland and Denmark have made the biggest inroads in the last twenty years. Slovakia has fallen off.
Norway is NOT the same level as Denmark lmao. Denmark has Freddie Andersen, Nikolaj Ehlers, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Lars Eller, Franz Nielsen, Mikkel Boedker and Patrick Russell. Norway has Zuccarello. Thats it.
I've always been surprised hockey hasn't caught on in the Netherlands, given they're really good at speed skating. I think there's only one current Dutch NHLer (Sprong).
Somebody give the Dutch some sticks and pucks. They might be good!
Well, a quick Wikipedia check tells me that there are twenty-four Canadians currently in the NFL. Don't know if they distinguish between active rosters/practice squads. Anyway, got to be second, I assume.
