The Winnipeg Jets are Canada’s team with a distinct American flavor.

Depending upon how you define an American player, there are either 10 or 11 Americans out of the 24 Jets who have played in these playoffs. USA TODAY Sports would call it 10 Americans, meaning that 41.7% of the roster is American.

“I would only say that comes out when there are international tournaments,” said Jets forward Andrew Copp, a Michigan native who played at the University of Michigan. “Nobody worries about how many Americans we have, it’s just there is a larger American side during the tournaments (for rooting purposes).”
