Finland. Even Kiprusoff is Finnish, despite the name (his great-great-great- etc. -grandpa was a Russian merchant who set up shop here).

Do a lot of Europeans from hockey nations regularly keep up on what's happening in the NHL or are you just one of the rare ones?
At least Finns and Swedes do. We even have a joint Scandinavian cable movie/sports channel which broadcasts 3-4 live NHL games a week. The Philly-Calgary game was on last night, but the timing is pretty inconvenient for those of us with fairly standard work hours.
