Where are all the French Canadian hockey players? Perusal of the top
20 scorers in the NHL reveals only one French Canadian amongst 9
Canadians. The list is further made of 9 Europeans and a couple of
Yanks. That's another story.

I can remember when French Canadians dominated top scoring. Are they
too small for today's game? I understand most are of Norman descent
(Vikings) so this seems unlikely. Other then goaltenders, French
Canadians are noticeably absent on NHL rosters. Is this a way of
getting even with the separatist bastards?

I think you answered your own question. The Patrick Roy effect. Have
you noticed how many top Canadian goalie prospects are Quebecians over
the last 7 or so years?
