Player Birth State Trends in the USHL

USHL (United States Hockey League) is the top-level junior hockey league in the United States for players under the age of 20. At the beginning of the millennium, players born in Minnesota accounted for up to 40 percent of U.S.-born players in the USHL, but the proportion has since then decreased to approximately 20 percent.

The chart below shows the relative proportions of different birth states in the USHL since the 2000-2001 season. Data used in the chart can be found on the birth state totals statistics pages.
