Why American NHL Stars Don't Want to Play in Canada

Canada invented hockey, but does that mean NHL players still dream of playing here?

In this episode of Mid-Ice Crisis, Josh explores why so many American-born stars seem to prefer U.S. markets over Canadian ones—and whether Canadian culture has developed an ego problem.

From the pressure of Canadian markets to the changing realities of life in both Canada and the United States, this conversation goes beyond hockey and asks a bigger question: Have Canadians become too attached to an image of ourselves that no longer matches reality?

This is an honest look at the state of hockey, national identity, and whether humility is something we've lost along the way.
