What is the most famous ice sport in Canada?

Ice hockey is the most popular sport in Canada. NHL (National Hockey League) is one of the largest leagues in North America. It is the same as the four major leagues such as the North American NBA, and its influence in Canada far exceeds that of the NBA. The NHL, like the NBA, includes teams from Canada and the United States. Most of the excellent players are from Canada, but because of the abundant funds of American teams, most of the teams with good records in recent years are from the United States.

Every year, 30 teams in the league challenge the Stanley Cup, the highest honor of the NHL. NHL has six Canadian teams: Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Montreal Canadians, Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canuckers.
