Given how popular hockey is in Canada it seems strange that no Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup since 1993. Is the some reason, like currency difference that explains this?

all the good Canadian athletes are more attracted to curling these days
The players get drafted by 30 teams. Canada has 6 teams. The talent is spread out more than it used to be. Canada now has a couple of possible contenders so it could happen soon.

^ This (although I thought it was 31 and 7?).
The Canadian players don't just play for Canadian based teams.
And since the teams can be in the same division/conference, this decreases your chances of getting to the Stanley Cup.
That said - two of the top 3 teams with the most Stanley Cups are Canadian.

They are more active NHL players that are Canadian, than any other nationality.

Concentration of power over the last generation has been in American franchises.. Detroit in the 9os.. Chicago & Pittsburgh over the last decade.
I think it's incidental these recent successes happen to be in the US & not Canada.
