National Pride
In Canada we tend to call Hockey “our” game. Although possessing something 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.
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 based 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).
Although both pages are interactive on Tableau Public, page two actually has two filters (position and Games Played) that make looking at the chart even more interesting.
Enjoy! And as usual, feedback appreciated through @rjweise
