smokes Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The Canucks are the only team out of 7 Canadian teams who are included as most popular teams in the United states. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/map-shows-most-popular-nhl-164811769.html;_ylt=AwrSbDiSGpBWBFUAApJXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEycm5kcTc2BGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDQjEzNTBfMQRzZWMDc2M- The Red Wings, Blackhawks, Rangers, and Bruins may be part of the NHL's Original 6, but it is the Colorado Avalanche that can lay claim to being the most popular team in the most states. Vivid Seats, a site that specializes in the sale of tickets for live events, collected data on the sale of NHL tickets to see which teams are most popular in each state. Using the billing address on all orders, Vivid Seats was able to determine which team's games produced the most sales in every state. The Avalanche leads the way as the most popular team in seven states, followed by the Bruins and Predators, who are the most popular teams in five states each. Meanwhile, of Canada's seven franchises, only the Vancouver Canucks can lay claim to any of the states south of the border, as the most popular team in Oregon and Washington.

(Samantha Lee/Business Insider) We know in Canada our teams are number one in their regions, but I'd be curious where the American teams rank when including all spectator sports? Roller Derby draws more viewers in some states than the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 A few years ago I would almost think that the Canucks would have had most of the western states based on all the Canucks fans at Ducks, Kings and Coyotes games. The Kings have gained some ground for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaSwede Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Are the panthers actually more popular than the lightning? that's surprising to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I wished they showed by population too. The Avalanche takes a large chunk of the map but Wyoming for example is not even 1M in population while Connecticut as one of the smaller states is well above 3M.

alt kilgore Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Thanks for posting this. Interesting. I never knew the Avs had such a following. Wow. And yeah Alaska for the Red Wings? I wonder if the Canucks are a close second. The Panthers have fans all the way up into Kentucky? No Lightening at all, I wonder if this was done before their SCF participation last year. It would also be interesting to see a map of Canada to see favorite teams. Or to see second favorite teams from Provinces that have at least one NHL team.
