A very true statement. I was living in Toronto in the early 90's and sure people got on the bandwagon etc to cheer those guys playing glorified rounders but the novelty of sitting through 81 home games quickly lost its appeal with the non die hard fans.
Canada and Ottawa is, and will be for many years, a hockey nation. The glorious game played far and wide from the Chocolate Box in Buenos Aires, to the Bernabau, to Old Trafford to even the glorious nation of Kazakhstan is gaining momentum throughout Ottawa and I suspect in 10-20 years will be the most popular for the non-CFRA audience and those who don't listen to Jim Rome.
