Compared to who? OK, the answer your looking for is because Hockey is a 4th or 5th tier sport in the US. The best athletes in the US gravitate to American Football, Baseball, and Basketball. That leaves Soccer and Hockey with the "leftovers". So, Actually, the US's 4th and 5th tier athletes are competitive with some countries best.
