The exact number isn't known, of course, because in addition to those registered with official provincial, state, & national federations, many people such as myself play hockey for fun on local rinks all the time. I would suggest you go to the official international website at www.IIHF.com and check the list of nations where hockey is played. There they will tell you at least how many players are registered with each national federation.
in general, hockey is still relatively unpopular in the U.S, mainly being enjoyed in areas/states such as Alaska, Minnesota, Michigan, New York, and Wisconsin. Though NHL teams such as the Ducks, Kings, and Sharks enjoy fairly widespread followings. The NHL lockout a few years back also didn't help. However, new stats show that hockey is actually gaining on the NBA, with fewer people watching the NBA Finals each years, and more people watching the Stanley Cup. Add the fact that the NHL is occasionally having games covered on networks, besides playoff games that is, hockey is gaining in popularity here in the US. But, Americans in general will always gravitate towards games that are easy for us to play, soccer being the exception. We can walk outside and play catch or throw a baseball around, or go to one of our many local ballfields to hit, or go to a Basketball court. Only certain towns have hockey rinks, and most people don't want to drive just to learn how to skate and play hockey. But yes, more Americans are catching on to the speed and excitement of professional hockey. This is probably the biggest period of growth in popularity since 1980 when the US team beat the Soviets, and Finland to win the gold.
There are probably hundreds of thousands as the game is played in all northern countries and in many others. There is a list of all the countries that are IIHF members with the number of registered players for each nation. (Keep in mind that many people such as myself also play hockey for fun and recreation but are not registered with any national association.)
There are approximately 600,000 registered hockey players in the US, with many more participating informally and recreationally.
There are over 30 hockey teams in the US and Canada. Each team consists of 18-20 players with two or three goalies.
