For the same reasons mentioned above (internet age / coverage) I think Teemu enters the conversation too.

I will tell you this, before I became a full fledged Canadian, when I was a kid back in India, I came from a very sports savvy / knowledgeable family and the only Ice hockey names I knew back then were Gretzky and Lemieux (this would have been the 1970s). Get this, me, my eldest brother, my mom and my dad were the only ones in our whole extended family and our entire neighbourhood that even knew that ice hockey is a sport!
