![Proportion of NHL players by team in IIHF 2025 World Championship [OC]](https://www.byteseu.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/3vp6qkapl70f1-724x1024.png "Proportion of NHL players by team in IIHF 2025 World Championship [OC]")
I got curious about the proportion of NHL players in different team's at the IIHF 2025 World Championship. It's interesting to see how some team's have most of their squad playing in the NHL/AHL while some countries have players only from local leagues.

Who’s playing in the Quebec Maritime league? Didn’t seem like Canada or the US
Canada and USA are stacked.
Might have been useful to enter the League totals next to each league. Would help with deciphering the smaller grey leagues where I’m doubting I can tell the different shades apart.
Edit: Or an alphanumerical indicator for each. It looks like there’s enough room in the smallest boxes.
Why is there so many on a gray scale and then only a couple colors. Could be more beautiful
Should have done a half-Canadian, half-American flag for NHL.
Who from France ad Austria are in the NHL?
Huh? Would someone mind explaining to me what this graph is trying to say?
This is hard to read so I wouldn’t say it’s beautiful
American flag for NHL? Really?
also would be good to point out that just because there are no NHLers playing at the WC, doesn’t mean that there are no NHLers from that nation. Latvia has 1 player who isn’t playing in the WC because his NHL team is currently still playing in the NHL playoffs, and 1 player who has played in previous WC for Latvia, but is out this year with injury and family issues.
I would love to know of all the players currently playing which team drafted the most of them – Flyers?
