<br> Canadian and American players make up the majority of the players in the NHL, however many skilled players have been brought into the league from [[Europe]], making it a premier place for playing hockey. The large number of Canadian players and the large support for the sport of hockey make the NHL a popular draw in Canada, with playoff hockey actually drawing more viewers in Canada than in the United States.

<br>The NHL is an extremely liberal organization. Of the twenty-four American teams in the National Hockey League, nineteen are located in cities that voted for Barack Hussein Obama in the 2008 presidential election. Six NHL teams play their home games in Canada, a notoriously liberal country. Only five NHL teams are from cities in red states. A large percentage of NHL players come from Canada, and many prominent Democrats attend professional ice hockey games. New Jersey's professional team, the New Jersey Devils, has a name that seems to openly support Satanism.
