## Resource

MacKenzie Weegar, now with the Utah Mammoth, reflects on the growing trend of NHL players leaving Canadian teams, acknowledging the allure of American markets but urging players to remember the irreplaceable passion and culture of hockey in Canada. Despite his own trade from Calgary — part of a rebuild, not a personal choice — he mourns the loss of talent from cities with deep hockey roots, especially as no Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup in over three decades. With stars like Tkachuk and Hughes moving on, Weegar reminds fans that playing in Canada isn’t just a job — it’s a legacy, steeped in tradition and community.
