Why would I cheer for them? I cheer for a team already. One is enough.

Im already into baseball by the time the playoffs start and my team is out.

So you don't care about hockey unless the Leafs are in the playoffs?

I would expect the centre of the hockey universe to have collectively have more NHL, AHL, and junior teams than anywhere else. I'd expect actual participation in the sport to be higher than everywhere else.

No other city supports their NHL team like the Leafs. No other city has three junior teams, and two more within a short commute. No other city also has an AHL team, and ANOTHER in its territory. There are more NHL players from Toronto than any other city in the world. There are more registered hockey players in children's leagues than anywhere else in the world.
If not Toronto, then where?

Look buddy.

If Halifax can support two Tug-of-War teams, one Rock Throwing team, three Hopscotch teams and one Frisbee Golf team....then Toronto shouldnt have a problem supporting their teams too.

True. I went to Calgary last year it seemed like it was improving. Edmonton on the other hand...

But NONE of their teams get supported other than the Leafs. That's the thing. Pretty much all the junior teams have bad attendance, the AHL team has bad attendance. Only the Leafs have good attendance. And don't try give me the "There's too many teams to cover" excuse. How many NHL, AHL and OHL teams are in the GTA?
- woopstash


Five directly in the GTA, another three just outside (Niagara, Hamilton, Barrie). Do any other cities have anything remotely close to that?

I care and watch. Love the sport. Just dont cheer for any specific team aside from the Leafs.

You're chugging the hateraid, gobbling the fool nuggets and dipping them in weak sauce.

Im more proud that you're this jealous, and this horrible at making me feel bad.

Congrats on living somewhere so poopty, that not only do not have a team, you hate and resent Canada so much you worship all things American.

You're so lucky. Toronto has nothing on Halifax.

He must think Toronto is like Halifax. One mall, 2 bars, 5 cars and 10 houses and a bunch of sports teams.

Wow.
You Leafs fans are so extreme. I went from liking the Penguins to "worshiping all things American." That's good stuff.
Jealous? Of Toronto? I love Halifax. And if I could move somewhere else in Canada I would choose Quebec City, Montreal and Vancouver WAY before I chose Toronto.

Halifax living, Pittsburgh cheering, Toronto hating.

Yes, we Leaf fans are extreme.

I would choose my dogs peehole before choosing Halifax. You lost out to a peehole, at least Toronto lost out to other cities. Thanks for making me feel better. You should shower, that smell of envy is strong on you.
