I think that is changing with the younger generation taking a much greater interest. I would say the primary sports here are hockey, North American football, and perhaps baseball. Of course, what we call football is not to be confused with soccer because it is rather more like rugby. Depending on Chuck's age he might remember the now defunct North American Soccer league. There was a lot of excitment back then in Vancouver because our team the Vancouver Whitecaps beat the New York Cosmos for the NASL championship. They were very popular and had a big following with a victory parade through the streets. Also they had a real catchy theme song. I still remember the American announcers refering to our city as the VILLAGE of Vancouver. Grant you, we certainly weren't as large as New York but we were hardly a village, being Canada's third largest city . Unfortunatly after that the popularity of the game seem to decline.
