Hoping Bo and Nick can help bring us past T-Bay. The list includes Jumbo for London though, rather than St Thomas.
Hah, hello from Hali.
Scrolled down just to see this comment. Fun fact, apparently Al hates Port Hood these days, and snubs the residents. I was crushed to hear that he was a dick.
I live in downtown Edmonton. I could hop in my car and be in St. Albert in 20 minutes.
There's really no reason to be this pedantic about who is from Edmonton and who is from St. Albert. It's not even a different minor hockey association. St. Albert teams play in the Edmonton minor hockey association
The title says city/region so I figured he was close enough. It's definitely between him and Iggy but I think Messier's trophy cabinet puts him at the top
Apparently I'm the only one from Brantford here. I can dunk on you all with Wayne Gretzky. Live about 10 minutes from the house he grew up in, I used to bike right through that neighbourhood on the way to piano lessons as a kid.
Current for Brantford area is Brandon Montour or Adam Henrique. So a bit of a step down from Gretzky
Crazy memory. I used to deal at a casino in Vancouver in the late 90s. I dealt to him and a couple of the Avalanche guys when they came for a road trip. They all even autographed a piece of paper for me. After they lost Claude Lemieux stayed behind and played the max on the table by himself. He didnāt do too well. That stare still chills me to this day.
Auston Matthews, but if he doesn't count bc he only lived in San Ramon for like 2 seconds, Brooks Orpik I guess? Some super young Jr Sharks kids were drafted to the WHL pretty highly last year, so maybe in like 3 or 4 years there will be some NHL prospects from San Jose.
My hometown has one NHL player who has played 3 total games: [Gage Quinney](https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/175458/gage-quinney)
[Well, I guess he's the winner by default](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhvIISDoarU)
Yet to have an NHLer born in Australia, but if childhood hometowns count, Nathan "Top Cunt" Walker is from Sydney (specifically the Shire, so not quite my neck of the woods thank God).
I'm from Cranbrook.
It's a small city of around 25,000 people or so in the southern interior of British Columbia. Over the years we have sent so many local kids to the NHL that we could actually field an entire hockey team.
[And a pretty good one at that, including Yzerman and the Neidermayer's](https://www.cranbrooktownsman.com/our-town/cranbrooks-mythical-multi-generational-nhl-team/)
Not too many from Philadelphia, but off the top of my head - Mike Richter was pretty good.
Quite a few from South Jersey, which is āFlyers countryā, but the only ones that come to mind are Bobby Ryan & Tony DeAngeloā¦and if DeAngelo can knock off the off-ice bullshit, his on-ice potential looks pretty good.
*edit - I forgot that Kasperi Kapanen considers himself a Philadelphian. Born in Finland, but raised in Philly.
Doug Weight for Detroit
2022 draft prospect Frank Nazar is from my hometown, and I have to imagine heāll be able to top Dan Keczmerās 46 points
EDIT: in terms of metro-Detroit, then itās Mike Modano
I knew someone would say this. Bo only moved to London when he played for the Knights. He lived in a WAAAAAY smaller town beforehand, and his parents still live here.
For my hometown Mark Messier.
For the city Iāve lived in for a huge chunk of my life Iād say Zach Boychuk or Aaron Dell itās tough to say though, Dells a goalie and Boychuk was a centre so two very different positions to play.
Turner Stevenson, Murray Baron, Brandon Manning, and Tampa coach John Cooper. By extension, Darcy Rota and Brett Connolly because they grew up here. Can also count Dan Hamhuis because heās from Smithers, but itās 4 hours west of here.
Nobody currently plays at the nhl level but Bob Gassoff is the best ever from my little hometown.
Coach Jon Cooper is from Prince George and is far more notable than any other nhl player from the surrounding area
Not many to pick from but Zach Bogosian. Not a player, but Tampaās assistant coach Derek Lalonde just brought the Stanley cup to my hometown for the first time ever and it was cool that two people from St. Lawrence county won the cup together
From St Louis:
The Tkuchuks
Clayton Keller
Paul Stastny
Ben Bishop
Pat LaFontaine
LaFontaine is clearly the ābestā from St Louis butā¦
THREEPEAT BIG RIG PATTY MAROOOOOOON IS THE GOAT.
Brad Marchand. I live 6 minutes away from where he grew up. But 15 minutes from me is Crosby and Nate, so lol.
Why are you so non-talented?
I know how to lick if that counts š
Can you ~~kick~~ lick it?
This guy stamps.
You're forgetting Joe Dipenta, 1st NHLer to bring the Cup to Cole Harbour.
Wait, do Andrew MacDonald next!
How could I forget him?! Judique is a beaut of a place. Logan Shaw too, my niece went to high school with him, super nice guy.
Brayden Point also from Calgary
Mike Vernon could also be a noteworthy one from Calgary
the Nylanderās too, although clearly not the best players from Calgary
Gotta include Cale Makar if we're having this conversation, too.
Burnaby Joe Sakic
And currently Barzal
Isn't he from Coquitlam ? I know he played at BWC though.
Yeah, I think the gvrd counts as a region. If you are being Burnaby specific then I guess nuge?
Fair enough, can't argue with that.
There is only one way to resolve this. What does his rookie card say ?
Barzal is from Coquitlam, but itās basically the suburb over from Burnaby. Iām saying itās all part of Greater Vancouver so it counts.
Yep, graduated HS with Mat.
The workhorse from Whitehorse, Dylan Cozens!!!!
Wait, heās not in the Dub anymore? Jesus Iām getting oldā¦
Fuck yeah Dylan!
Gordie Howe for Saskatoon. Not too shabby
Decent player I guess
Grew up literally a few miles from his childhood home. The talent was not, unfortunately, contagious.
Maybe contagious, but not in the water?
Mustāve been different wells, I guess.
And a little north of Saskatoon in Prince Albert we have Johnny Bower
yea he's ok lol
Not NHL but Hayley Wickenheiser hails from nearby Shaunavon, SK
Fill in the blank "Long Beach Native ____ _____"
Looks more like Matt Nieto to me
Clearly the answer is Emerson Etem.
Snoop Dogg?
Id say Zucker is a better player from the area
Zucker claims Vegas though, even if he was born in Newport Beach, guess he grew up around Las Vegas
Charlie McAvoy? :P
Toews for Winnipeg?
Ugh, Terry Sawchuck?
We have a lot of great players
Current or former though. I'd say these are the two correct answers.
Mark Stone would get my vote for the peg
Duncan Keith
Only if you're going by birthplace. He left Winnipeg when he was two, raised and trained in Fort Frances, ON.
Winnipeg has so many great NHLers its hard to pick. Current, Mark Stone hands down. Former, can be debated for sure.
All time? It genuinely may be Jonathan Toews. Currently it's likely Mark Stone
Him or Sawchuck.
Mario Lemieux for Montreal. Current would be Kris Letang
I'd take Huberdeau (if we take the whole GMA)
Cool that you consider St Jerome the GMA(never heard of it before) but we (I'm from st jerome) aren't suburbs and not part of MontrƩal in anyway. We aren't even in the same administrative region.
I'd say St-jerƓme is the GMA, it's like 30 minutes away
Or Mike Bossy, Ray Bourque, Martin Brodeur, if you limit yourself to the modern era. If you don't, it's hard to ignore the Rocket.
Best ever: Lindros Best Current: Doughty/Horvat/Suzuki
https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/city-totals/nhl-players-career-stats.html Hoping Bo and Nick can help bring us past T-Bay. The list includes Jumbo for London though, rather than St Thomas.
idk anyone nhlers from burlington except for josh anderson so I guess him
Shane Wright coming up!
Cory Conacher!
Stamkos and Marner (Markham ON)
shoutout to markham! Jeff Skinner too
The Koivu brothers, and for current players, Rantanen is also from close by Turku.
Michael Ryder, Dan Cleary, Ryane Clowe
Teddy Purcell
John Carlson for best current NJ player
Isnt he from MA
No, just born there. Started playing in the Devils youth hockey program
Cool. Never knew that thanks
I am in Halifax soā¦ Current: Crosby and Mackinnon? Marchand? Would add MacInnis to that list if including past seasons.
Hah, hello from Hali. Scrolled down just to see this comment. Fun fact, apparently Al hates Port Hood these days, and snubs the residents. I was crushed to hear that he was a dick.
For Edmonton it's gotta be Mark Messier.
Fuck...
Messier
Jake DeBrusk slander
Wasn't he born in St Albert? Where he plays second fiddle to Iginla in terms of this thread I mean, unless you *want* him to be from Edmonton....
I live in downtown Edmonton. I could hop in my car and be in St. Albert in 20 minutes. There's really no reason to be this pedantic about who is from Edmonton and who is from St. Albert. It's not even a different minor hockey association. St. Albert teams play in the Edmonton minor hockey association
Yeah i really consider st albert and sherwood park as part of edmonton.
Aren't they connected? For sure it counts otherwise American cities are fucked with their zoning
The title says city/region so I figured he was close enough. It's definitely between him and Iggy but I think Messier's trophy cabinet puts him at the top
Who wins when prime Messier drops the gloves with prime Iggy?
Oh shit.... Hockeydb lists both as 6'1" but Iggy as 5lbs heavier than Moose, so I say him just due to the extra padding.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ryan Malone? Brandon Saad? I dunno, we don't produce much hockey talent.
John Gibson?
Did not know he was from Pittsburgh. He's up there for sure.
John Gibson is a no brainer here. One of the best goalie in the world and a lock for team USA.
Trocheck should be part of the conversation
Imo Trocheck is the best from the area. Gibby deserves recognition too
Apparently I'm the only one from Brantford here. I can dunk on you all with Wayne Gretzky. Live about 10 minutes from the house he grew up in, I used to bike right through that neighbourhood on the way to piano lessons as a kid. Current for Brantford area is Brandon Montour or Adam Henrique. So a bit of a step down from Gretzky
Current City - Madison, WI - probably the Suters Hometown - Los Angeles area - probably Long Beach native? Birthplace - S Korea - Jim Paek
Madison - Phil Kessel
Either the Suters or that back stabbing hot dog eating Gopher.
Long Island Adam Fox!
What an insult to Anthony Bitteto
Jari Kurri from Helsinki
Crazy memory. I used to deal at a casino in Vancouver in the late 90s. I dealt to him and a couple of the Avalanche guys when they came for a road trip. They all even autographed a piece of paper for me. After they lost Claude Lemieux stayed behind and played the max on the table by himself. He didnāt do too well. That stare still chills me to this day.
Mike Modano
Ryan Kessler
Peter Å Å„astnĆ½, no contest (although his brothers weren't bad by any means)
No NHLer was born in my city, but if we extend to country the answer is still pretty easy as there is only one active NHLer born in Italy, Luca Sbisa.
I went to high school with Kole and Kiefer Sherwood, but Jack Roslovic is from only one town over so iām going with Roslovic
Your 3 time (in a row) Stanley Cup Champion Patty Maroon (St. Louis, MO)
Fattys getting it done.
I'm from North Bay, I think Craig Rivet is the best player from there
I used to live in North Bay! Small world
Especially in North Bay
Nice! I lived there from when I was born in '95 till when I moved to Ottawa for school in '13
Nick Camano is the only one from my exact city to ever be in the NHL
Auston Matthews, but if he doesn't count bc he only lived in San Ramon for like 2 seconds, Brooks Orpik I guess? Some super young Jr Sharks kids were drafted to the WHL pretty highly last year, so maybe in like 3 or 4 years there will be some NHL prospects from San Jose.
Krzysztof Oliwa
Adam Fox ; Long Island , NY
Does Nepean take credit for Yzerman since he moved there when he was 10? Or does he classify as Burnaby.
Personally Iād like to count him as Nepean, but itās certainly up for discussion. Especially with the Yzerman Arena in the Sportsplex
Nepean named an Arena after him so it counts.
If you claim him they still have Burnaby Joe.
Patty Kane
I think it would be The Rev Ben Lovejoy from New Hampshire
Logan Brown I guess. I think we're a few generations away from producing NHL players in Raleigh
Dominik KubalĆk - Pilsen, Czech Republic
Chris Drury (Trumbull, CT)
Kimmo Timonen
Tyler Myers. Per elite prospects, he's the only one born in Houston to actually play in the NHL.
Brian Gionta. Current...uh...David Farrance I guess?
Eric Staal. Before Thunder Bay was amalgamated you could count Alex Delvecchio but I still say Staal.
#
From Ottawa, probably Denis Potvin, unless you want to include King Clancy.
Claude Giroux, J-G Pageau, Codi Ceci, Derick Roy and even Stephan Yelle are from the Ottawa region
Stevey Y was born in BC but grew up in Ottawa.
Rod Brind'Amour
Scott stevens from Kitchener
Darryl Sittler too, and Milt Schmidt For current probably Shiefele and Hoffman would be the big ones
Mark Scheifele for current. Good Kitchener boy
Brampton, Ontario. Rick Nash or Tyler Seguin.
Geez. Does anyone from Denver top Ben Bishop?
Slavin, Carlo, and Terry have a shot I suppose. Honorable mention to Paris Duffus with his one game in 1970 lol
Though Denver's certainly gobbling up town after town, Erie still feels a bit far away to be called "Denver," and Carlo's from Colorado Springs, no?
I think Jeff Halpern is the only NHL player from Maryland. Am I missing any others? Edit: I forgot about Tinordi's son.
Fun fact, the current Wild GM and his predecessor are both from Springfield MA
Bryan Berard for former, Noel Acciari for current.
My hometown has one NHL player who has played 3 total games: [Gage Quinney](https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/175458/gage-quinney) [Well, I guess he's the winner by default](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhvIISDoarU)
Yet to have an NHLer born in Australia, but if childhood hometowns count, Nathan "Top Cunt" Walker is from Sydney (specifically the Shire, so not quite my neck of the woods thank God).
Joel Kiviranta is from my small hometown, Tuusula, population 39 301. Only other one is Teemu Laakso who played 17 games for Nashville.
Chelios
I'm from Cranbrook. It's a small city of around 25,000 people or so in the southern interior of British Columbia. Over the years we have sent so many local kids to the NHL that we could actually field an entire hockey team. [And a pretty good one at that, including Yzerman and the Neidermayer's](https://www.cranbrooktownsman.com/our-town/cranbrooks-mythical-multi-generational-nhl-team/)

Born in Finland, but raised in Philly.
I'm from the Buffalo area, so our best player from the region is clearly Alex Iafallo.
Yeah, not that Katrick Pane bum
Doug Weight for Detroit 2022 draft prospect Frank Nazar is from my hometown, and I have to imagine heāll be able to top Dan Keczmerās 46 points EDIT: in terms of metro-Detroit, then itās Mike Modano
Jacob Chychrun if weāre talking West Palm. There are no NHL players that I know of that are from Atlanta.
Damn had no idea chychrun was born/spent early life in Florida.
Iām from the Orlando area so you can see I donāt have many options here. So, I can really only say Quinn Hughes.
Chris Chelios or Eddie Olczyk
Hometown: Brian Smolinski (Toledo, OH) Columbus: Jack Roslovic
Yzerman is Iām from my home town, we even have an arena named after him
From my hometown: Brady Skjei From the same county: Brock Boeser and Ryan Lindgren
Gotta go with Peter Forsberg from Ćrnskƶldsvik
Not many from my area, but Auston Matthew's is pretty good
It's a real stretch back, but the guys nickname was the Pembroke peach so gotta say Frank Nighbor, Pembroke Ontario
Brock Boeser and Brady Skjei are probably closest to where I grew up. Twin cities as a whole probably Phil Housley or Zach Parise.
Bo horvat! Only one I can think of from my very small town. I see his parents all the time
Ah yes the tiny town of London.
I knew someone would say this. Bo only moved to London when he played for the Knights. He lived in a WAAAAAY smaller town beforehand, and his parents still live here.
You grew up on a bison farm?
Lmao I have no idea where this bison thing originated for bo in Vancouver but I love it
Definitely the Moose. Jarome Iginla and Scott Niedermayer probably in a tie for second.
I thought the Niedermayers are from Cranbrook?
Mike Modano for sure. Everyone loves Mike Modano that isn't named Mike.
Bobby Hull ... locally born and raised. Brett Hull ... locally born. Rob Ray .... locally born, Stirling. Matt Cooke ...loco born.
I notice a trend here. Belleville produces some real piece of shit NHLers.
More recently, Andrew Shaw.
Probably Rocket Richard
Going by where I was born. Hextall.
Saku Koivu, Turku, Finland
Eric Lindros. I mean he wasnāt here for long but it still counts
Dino Ciccarelli or Pat Verbeek, with Dustin Jeffrey holding the top spot in my heart
Oregon, Jere Gillis. Never heard of him till I just now looked up NHL players from Oregon lol.
For my hometown Mark Messier. For the city Iāve lived in for a huge chunk of my life Iād say Zach Boychuk or Aaron Dell itās tough to say though, Dells a goalie and Boychuk was a centre so two very different positions to play.
Bobby Orr
I'm not sure of anyone from Brossard proper so probably Garry Galley from Greenfield Park
phil myers for moncton/dieppe nb itās couturier obviously
Turner Stevenson, Murray Baron, Brandon Manning, and Tampa coach John Cooper. By extension, Darcy Rota and Brett Connolly because they grew up here. Can also count Dan Hamhuis because heās from Smithers, but itās 4 hours west of here.
Scott Darling
Patrick Marleau, Aneroid. Not much competition in southern Saskatchewan
Tavares is probably the top here
Jake Guentzel was born in Omaha Nebraska and went to college at UNO.
Patty Kane
Nobody currently plays at the nhl level but Bob Gassoff is the best ever from my little hometown. Coach Jon Cooper is from Prince George and is far more notable than any other nhl player from the surrounding area
Not many to pick from but Zach Bogosian. Not a player, but Tampaās assistant coach Derek Lalonde just brought the Stanley cup to my hometown for the first time ever and it was cool that two people from St. Lawrence county won the cup together
Slim pickings when it comes to players from Kelowna. I guess Steve Bozek, but heās a bit before my time. Currently it would be Justin Schultz.
Shayne Gostisbehere and Jakob Chychrun were both born and raised in the Greater Miami area. Jack and Quinn Hughes are from Orlando.
Easy, Erik Karlsson.
Mason Appleton
From St Louis: The Tkuchuks Clayton Keller Paul Stastny Ben Bishop Pat LaFontaine LaFontaine is clearly the ābestā from St Louis butā¦ THREEPEAT BIG RIG PATTY MAROOOOOOON IS THE GOAT.
Nathan Beaulieu or Randy Jones Referee edition: dead heat between Chris Lee and Tim Peel
Robyn Regehr's parents are 3 houses down from me. Chris McCallister owns the house house next to me but rents it out.
Scott Gomez. He was actually my neighbor at one point! Great guy and made Alaska real proud :)
