On the sports stations the talk is overwhelmingly NHL, followed by CFL/NFL, MLB and then Jr Hockey before anything comes up about NBA/Raptors.
I was actually reminded of an article I read a few months back: http://business.financialpost.com/20...only-one-team/. I've also read the exhibition game in Montreal is doing quite well.
