@NHLtoSeattle Gage Quinney is #vegasborn and he played on the main roster before

@Cole88343115 not this season.

@NHLtoSeattle Have to give a lot of props to @usahockey growth too though. Almost every state has had an increase cuz there are a ton more Americans in the league and a lot more participation at youth levels

@GboroMark @usahockey True. The data doesn't go back as far but I posted this a couple weeks ago. NHL really help drive the growth which is evident in the numbers in California, Texas, and Florida.

@NHLtoSeattle Who’s the Marylander

@BoeJidensBurner Jared Tinordi. played 7 games witht he Rangers this season.

@NHLtoSeattle How many were born to players playing in some of those places, though?

@CreaturesModern not as many as you think but I don't have the data to determine that.

@NHLtoSeattle Only guy from South Dakota ever to play in the NHL? Walker Duehr with the Calgary Flames.

@BobblinMavs It would appear so...

@NHLtoSeattle Montana and Idaho have drafted players,so hopefully those states will be added shortly!

@NHLtoSeattle Very interesting! Hopefully women’s pro hockey will follow suit as the number rise in the West!

@NHLtoSeattle doesnt make me to help stop my desire to talk crap on arizona though

@NHLtoSeattle We need more ice.

@NHLtoSeattle Hockey has also become the last hope for rich white American athletes to make it anywhere.

@NHLtoSeattle who is from Oklahoma

@NHLtoSeattle 6 from AZ. my heart is happy

@NHLtoSeattle Well done. The USA is producing many more players and trending in the right way for more expansion. My home a province of 1 m people up here in Canada has 30 active players.

@NHLtoSeattle As usual, Canada is completely left out of the equation. Bettman’s expansion south of the border is reprehensible. He’ll do everything he can to expand to states where no one attends (Arizona) while ignoring places like Quebec City that have a stadium & are ready for a team.
