In Texas, football resembles a religion and is very important to the community, is hockey the same way in Ontario?

AC: “It is especially in the (greater Toronto area) and where I’m from when I was a kid, it was always hockey throughout the winter and in the summer you were playing street hockey with your buddies. Everything was about hockey. You’d watch it on Saturday nights and your parents would let you stay up and watch a game. Pretty much everyone plays. It’s a livelihood for sure.”
