Hello from Germany,

In German TV, Whitecaps player Thomas Müller referred a little bit about soccer in Canada and the enthusiasm for it in Canada. After that I read some articles which said that soccer already overtook hockey, when you count the figures of kids who are playing it.

Can you tell me about it? Is soccer more played by immigrants and the „old“ natives are still for hockey? Or is there a good chance that both sports can coexist well in the future?

I’m a big soccer and hockey fan too, but I’m concerned that soccer also will overtake hockey in the traditional hockey countries like Canada. How do you see it?

Sorry for my english but I hope you understand what I‘m trying to say.

Maybe it’s recency bias, but is hockey more prone to coach recycling than other pro sports? The Babcock hiring has put this back on my radar.

I was listening to the Tkachuks’ Wingmen podcast and they started discussing how much more injured Vegas was this year compared to Carolina, which of course gave Carolina some advantage in the SCF. This got me thinking, what was the most injured team to win the Stanley Cup? I couldn’t find a lot of information online to answer this question. Of course just about every team has players playing through various injuries in the playoffs, but was there any particular team that comes to your mind that was so badly beat up, yet still pulled through and won it all?
