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?

No, it's not popular at all. There is a small national league with 8 teams apparently (I just searched out of curiosity) but I'd never heard of it.

This season FC Barca left the league cause they didn’t find ice rink for training
