NHL Teams Are More Diverse Than Ever

There is no doubt that hockey is a world game. With the NHL now boasting teams from 31 cities across North America and Canada, the U.S. and great white north still remain powerhouses of international hockey. However, hockey around the globe is as strong as it has ever been with programs in Europe producing some of the game’s modern superstars, which reach every point of the globe. As an Australian hockey player and Capitals fan, it is fascinating and quite exciting that the boys from Washington not only boast one of the strongest rosters in the league (a Stanley Cup winning one might I add) but the most culturally diverse in the National Hockey League.
