My response to that:
The first "southern" team was the Atlanta Flames, playing in the years
1972-1980 before moving to Calgary.
If your logic is true, there should be a plethora of skating rinks in
Georgia and a number of hockey players from that native land.
It IS true, however, if you mean the republic of the former Soviet Union.
This is the REAL question:
I always ask NHL players and team officials I have met or spoken to on talk
radio: who is now the better prepared for the NHL when joining the roster
-- a player elevated from the juniors, a player from American college
hockey, or a European ? There are a variety of answers, and I recommend
you ask the question on your own if you have the opportunity to speak to
any present or past NHL player or management person.
