I look forward to others on the forum perhaps pulling out some stats on proportions of visa vs non-visa players in all HAL clubs over several seasons.

I may be wrong, as this is only a vague hunch, but look forward to others on the forum perhaps pulling out some stats on visa vs non-visa players in all HAL clubs over several seasons.
