Oh my, you Americans. If it's not popular with you, it must not be important. 
Believe it or not, millions and millions of us do care about hockey.
Not so much the NHL, of course. Many of us couldn't care less if it ever returns (at least that's what we say now).

Then why not move all the NHL teams to Canada? What other countries think is not our concern. If you like the sport, support the sport. It is not our problem that no one cares about hockey in this country.

Tony, have you even been to a hockey game?

Anyone can play basketball. You have to have money, time and resources to play hockey. That is the reason many Americans could give a damn about hockey. A kid of any background and resources can find a hoop and a ball and shoot baskets. You have to have a rink, skates, a stick and ice to play some form of hockey. We also have a great deal of our country that does not get any snow most of the year.
