I think a logical follow up to yesterday's post is a look at how the Rockford IceHogs break down each year they have been in the American Hockey League. The numbers are similar year-to-year and do, to a certain extent, reflect the NHL figures.
2007-08 Total: 47 players USA: 14 (29.8 percent) Canada: 28 (59.6 percent) Rest of world: 5 (Czech Republic, Russia 2, Sweden, Finland) 2008-09 Total: 44 players USA: 14 (31.8 percent) Canada: 26 (59.1 percent) Rest of world: 4 (Finland, Russia, Sweden) 2009-10 Total: 43 players USA: 15 (34.9 percent) Canada: 24 (55.8 percent) Rest of world: 4 (Finland, Sweden, Russia, England) This year's team looks like it's going to be pretty consistent. Counting just those players who have been signed by the Blackhawks and IceHogs, there are about six Americans, nine Canadians, one Norwegian and one Swede. Obviously as the Blackhawks team starts to form and then as a result, the IceHogs team does, those numbers can change dramatically. |
