Many of these guy fall in love with Canada for various reasons. You can have a pretty normal good quality life with no need to carry a gun. Some of these US players come from seriously bad areas. I remember at Joe Badailis talking with a Lion DB at the time Carter. I forget his first name but he also played with Hamilton. We were two of the last few folks left iun the bar and we talked about all kinds of stuff including his childhood in the hood. Canada would be like a breath of fresh air to many of these guys. Not like they'd have to live in bad areas in the states now but lets face it Canada is a pretty great place to live.
