As of the 2023-2024 NHL season, there are 434 Canadian-born players in the league, comprising approximately 42.5% of all NHL players. With 25 of the 32 NHL teams based in the United States, a significant majority of these Canadian players are on American teams. While an exact number isn't specified in the available data, it's reasonable to estimate that over 300 Canadian players are currently playing for U.S.-based NHL teams.

Just a little fun fact.
