I'm a Raptors fan and I grew up playing Basketball over hockey so I have been a fan since day 1. But I know its popularity in Canada overal is not that great although improving. In Toronto and the GTA its getting pretty huge but right now outside of huge games. Curling, CFL, even the Pan-Am Games this summer outdrew the Raptors. Raptors are with auto racing in terms in popularity which is crazy but sadly true.
