The NHL and the Latino Audience post is a great start to a discussion that I hope continues through the years and as the NHL expands. In the article, I mentioned how other pro-leagues like MLB have such a large Latino participation and audience. Now I want to introduce you too the Latino-Hispanic players in the NHL. There are 5 active players currently and one retired. I am familiar with all of these players and admire them; especially Bill Guerin and Scott Gomez!
