Soccer has surpassed hockey in the Province :

''Football (Soccer) has always been popular in Québec and has emerged as the youth sport of choice for parents across the province. Both boys (97,000) and girls (42,000) football registrations continue to surpass that of hockey. According to Hockey Canada's annual report, 69,000 boys and 6,840 girls played youth hockey in the 2022-23 season.''

OTOH, it means I get to watch Montrealers play for big clubs in Europe and rep our boroughs with their jersey numbers. What a life.

Except most of the greats of Quebec hockey came up in an era when the Nordiques didn't exist and also how do you explain Nova Scotia producing more elite talent?

They also came up in an era where hockey was the only thing you could do as a kid in Canada.

How do I ask him? Where can he be reached?

Do you own research! He writes for NHL.com and you can email him, DM or many other ways
