A study of all 10 year old hockey players in Canada was done in 1985. There were 22,000 playing hocky and 110 made it to the Ontario Hockey League. 22 more received scholarships to Division 1 schools. Of the players who made it to the OHL, only 7 played in the NHL.
The chances are similar in the United States.

In 1985, a study was done in Ontario, Canada for all 10 year-old hockey players. At this time, there were 22,000 10 year-olds playing hockey in Ontario. Of these players only 110 made it to the OHL (Ontario Hockey League) and 22 more received scholarships to Division 1 schools.
This means that only 132 out of those 22,000 made it into the top feeder leagues for the NHL. Of those 132 players, only 7 played in the NHL. Those are astonishing numbers.
