that’s a shockingly low number.. Last year, they only had 5808 registered hockey players against a population of ~5.8M people.
Canada losing is how the sport grows!that’s a shockingly low number.
Wonder if this win will give rise to a “miracle generation” like the 1980 US team that upset the Soviets (and Swedes)
There’s more ice hockey indoor rinks in Canada than registered danish hockey playersI saw A LOT of empty seats at a semi-final game. Quite surprising.
Hockey really not that popular in Denmark?
They are handball kings, won 4 straight WC titlesDenmark is not like other Nordic countries. it is more like central european country with no winter sport culture. The only sport they are good at are cycling and badminton. They like football but they suck at it like most of european countries.
This logic isn't going to work here since hockey is actually very popular in central Europe.Denmark is not like other Nordic countries. it is more like central european country with no winter sport culture. The only sport they are good at are cycling and badminton. They like football but they suck at it like most of european countries.
They were not playing the semifinal in Denmark.I saw A LOT of empty seats at a semi-final game. Quite surprising.

The quarterfinal against Canada was played in Herning, Denmark, and it seemed crowded to me
The semifinal against Switzerland was played in Stockholm, Sweden. The distance from Herning to there is roughly the same as between Boston and Charlotte or between Winnipeg and Chicago, and I'm guessing with no direct flight connections.
I would say people in Denmark care about hockey when their national team is performing well, but probably only hardcore fans are gonna bother to make a spontaneous trip from Herning to Stockholm on less than a two day's notice.
Both those are about 50% longer than the distance between Stockholm and Herning. There are a lot of flights from Copenhagen but I assume quite a large part of the danish hockey community is located in Herning, but a decent chunk of it has to be in Copenhagen since the metro has about 25% of the danish population..The quarterfinal against Canada was played in Herning, Denmark, and it seemed crowded to me
