So, You Wanna Know How Many Canadians Are on the Vegas Golden Knights, Eh?
Las Vegas: glitz, glamour, and...a surprising amount of maple syrup on the locker room floor? That's right, folks, the Vegas Golden Knights have a serious case of the "hoser" (that's Canadian for "awesome," for those not in the know). But just how many Canadians are we talking about here? Buckle up, because we're about to answer the question that's keeping hockey fans and Celine Dion impersonators up at night.

They Came, They Saw, They Conquered (With a Tim Hortons Coffee in Hand)
For the 2023 playoffs, the Golden Knights boasted a staggering 19 Canadian-born players on their roster. That's more Canadians than you could fit in a Zamboni (and let's face it, Canadians practically live in Zambonis). Some folks might say that's a coincidence, but we all know the real reason: there's something in the water on the Vegas Strip (besides that chlorine smell) that turns people into hockey superstars...as long as they're from the Great White North, that is.
From Coast to Coast (Except Maybe P.E.I., Sorry About That)
The Golden Knights' Canadian contingent isn't just a bunch of dudes from Toronto. We're talking a nationwide celebration, with players representing provinces from British Columbia all the way to Saskatchewan (sorry again, Newfoundland, maybe next year?).
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
Did you know? In the 2023 playoffs, the Golden Knights' blue line was practically a Canadian consulate, with only one lone American defenseman! Looks like they built a wall, and Mexico ain't paying for it...well, not exactly a wall, more like a giant ice rink guarded by guys with sticks who can say "aboot" without sounding weird.
So, How Many Canadians Are There Now?
This is where things get a little tricky. Rosters change faster than Britney Spears' hairstyles, so the exact number can fluctuate. However, based on the latest news and everyone's best guess, it's safe to say there's still a healthy dose of Canadian talent on the Golden Knights.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
But hey, who cares about the exact number? The point is, Vegas has embraced its inner hockey-loving Canada, and it's a beautiful thing. Just don't be surprised if you hear the national anthem sung in two different keys during a game.
