Which is the city or town who has raised the most NHL superstars per capita in each of the Hockey nations?
A criteria is that should have raised at least 2 superstars since 1 guy from a very small village can make the density a bit skewed.
In Sweden, I would claim that it is Örnsköldsvik.
Town population is ~27500 and the town has raised: Peter Forsberg, Markus Näslund, Daniel & Henrik Sedin, Victor Hedman and Anders Hedberg. Anders probably had his best years in the WHA but I chose to include him. Linus Ullmark, who might be considered a superstar after this season, is unfortunately born 1 hour from the city.
In Finland I think it's Tampere? But some of you Finnish guys can probably correct this and know which guys to include.
I've heard about Cole Harbour in Canada. But it seems odd that it would be the densest considering how many great Canadian Hockey players there are.
