Ive always wondered why Norway doesn't have more NHL players like Finland and Sweden. - PhillySportsGuy
I wrote an article for NHL.com on that topic years ago. The short and extremely oversimplified answer is that the funding in Norway was always focused much more on other sports when Sweden was building rinks and developing their hockey program in every area of their country.
