Of the 30 NHL teams that loaned talent to the Winter Games, 23 are welcoming back medalists. Among them, Anaheim leads the medal count (7) with San Jose gathering the most gold (4). Only three teams (Anaheim, Carolina, Vancouver) have players from each medal winner.

Let's hope this isn't the last Winter Olympics with NHL talent.
