Yup, to be behind the Leafs and Habs is inevitable, and Raps and Jays are big league teams, so to crack the list at #6 is a feather in the cap to TNSE and their first 5 years back!

Cool, I'm surprised that the Roughriders are so high though

If you download the full results PDF there's more detail (duh). Some interesting findings. Not sure how the Ottawa Senators crack the Top 10 in atmosphere - that's a sleepy arena unless the Leafs or Habs are in town. It's funny too how the Jets are 3rd most respected but when people were asked 'what teams do you think people respect' they slip down in the rankings.

Also: NO ONE RESPECTS THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS!

Really? They have a massive amount of fans all across Canada. Easily #1 supported CFL team.

Yup and the fact that Saskatchewan doesn't have another real professional sports team, you have the entire province behind them.

The Riders have very strong support.

We benefited from making the playoffs this year and the return of the whiteout. A ton of positive news around that - well deserved I might add.

I lived in Regina for close to a year. I'm not surprised. Every other person wears Rider gear in that city.

If they continue to grow the way they have, I could see an NHL team there in a decade.

I always thought they would be a great location for our AHL team, although we are in a much more superior city now.

Me too, but they like Junior hockey way better for some reason.

Just heard on the radio that the jets were #3 in most respected franchises in Canada next to the habs and the jays.

I live in Saskatoon and no one here gives a **** about hockey, it's weird. Mostly riders fans and NFL fans. I can hardly find people to talk hockey with here.
