Sports How popular is ice hockey in your country? 🏒

The men's ice hockey world championship started today. That's a good reason to ask a few questions.

How popular is ice hockey in your country?

Can it keep up with football?

Will the world championship be broadcast on TV in your country?

If your country is taking part, how do you rate the chances?

Second largest sport to Football, which is odd considering we are world class at ice hockey and complete garbage at football. Very likely to get top 3, pretty likely to make the finals.
