Here is a list of BC - born players divided into two teams. The first team is my opinion of the best players and the second team is second best. Do you agree? I didn't even know some of these players were born here, like Danny Gare and Peter McNab. I think our A team could hold it's own against another team from another province. Ontario and Quebec would have serious A teams though! But screw them!!! We have Barry Beck! haha!
For the record, Scott Niedermayer was born in Edmonton, not Cranbrook or Cassiar.
