They had this little piece in The Ottawa Citizen yesterday listing the top 10 hockey countries in the world.
The usual suspects.
Beauty is that, even though we are not tops in pops we have the largest number of registered players, a smidge under 500K. We also have, when you take out the USA, more indoor rinks than Russia, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Switzerland, Germany and Belarus combined. Also, according to this figures that The Citizen got from the IIHF website, we have like more than twenty times as many outdoor rinks than the rest of the world, including the States and Russia, combined.
Oh, Canada.
