It's the country with the most registered players.

Didn’t even know that...haha. Although I assume a number of them are just professional couch players ;)

How big is Ice Hockey in Canada? It’s your national sport, right?

Yeah, a few million more than anybody else. (However that's the amount of people playing for organized clubs, other countries might have more if you count people just playing on the street.)

2% of Canadians are registered players. But with how expensive equipment can be many people just play road hockey. As a spectator sport it's very popular. Half of Canada watched the gold medal game in 2010. The NHL is also the most popular sports league in Canada with the Stanley Cup Finals receiving high ratings.
