Well it is not like there are a ton of hockey rinks for folks without richy rich parents in the sub/exurbs. Playground basketball courts are cheap compared to the privilege (the in the USA) of having access+money for hockey.

In the USA it is an elitist sport. Like lacrosse but requires a several dozens of refrigerators to be running per game.

Oh weird! They must’ve starting taking traffic and moved it inside the paywall. I wish I could get the graph, which is the gist of the article, but the thesis is that when you match players to their registration, the NHL has the most registered Republicans, at ~60%, than any league other than the MLB.
