They Came, They Saw, They Conquered (with Apologies to Celine Dion)
For the 2023 playoffs, the Golden Knights boasted a whopping 19 Canadian-born players on their roster. That's more hosers than you can shake a stick at (or a deck of cards, depending on where you find yourself in Vegas). This dominance of double-double dispensing dudes from the Great White North had some folks scratching their heads and asking, "But why?"
Well, here are a few theories, completely unsubstantiated by actual facts:
- Maybe there's something in the water on the Vegas Strip (besides that chlorine smell) that turns Americans into hockey prodigies.
- Perhaps the Golden Knights have a secret Canadian scouting team stationed in Tim Hortons across the country, fueled by endless cups of coffee and Timbits.
- Or maybe, just maybe, Canadians are just naturally awesome at hockey.
Whatever the reason, this Canadian invasion has become a delightful quirk of the Vegas Golden Knights. It's like finding a perfectly good poutine in the middle of the desert – unexpected, but undeniably delicious.

Hey, We Like to Win Too, You Know! (Don't tell the Americans we said that)
Look, we get it. America likes to claim hockey as its own (we see you there, Minnesota Wild). But let's face it, Canadians practically grow up with skates strapped to their feet. So, it's no surprise that a large chunk of the Golden Knights hail from the land of loonies and two-four packs.
Besides, who doesn't love a good underdog story? Here's this young team, defying the odds and taking the NHL by storm, led by a legion of polite-but-deadly Canadians. It's enough to make you want to grab a Molson Canadian and cheer them on (responsibly, of course).
