National Pride<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In Canada we tend to call\u00a0Hockey “our” game. Although possessing\u00a0something as intangible as the game of hockey, or any sports game for that matter, Puck Possessed issue 8 looks at National Pride in hockey expressed by players in the NHL representing different “nation groups” in the NHL.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As looking at all individual nations didn’t make much sense, I combined Sweden and Finland, all former Soviet states, and a rest group combining numerous smaller European countries with one-offs like Australia and Bahamas. I should also note that these are\u00a0based on the Nationalities listed on the NHL web page; I do not know how the NHL deals with dual Nationalities for example, and obviously it also ignores those with a passport from their birth country who actually only lived there their first 3 years of their lives. Initially I also wanted to look at playing styles based on nationality (or continent) but that got kind of diluted by the prior comment, so I left it (for now).<\/p>\n

Although both pages are interactive on Tableau Public<\/a>, page two actually has two filters (position and Games Played) that make looking at the chart even more interesting.<\/p>\n

Enjoy! And as usual, feedback appreciated through @rjweise<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
