Pretty interesting. Glad to see soccer growth going up on this continent, it is after all the "beutiful game."
Moreover, Canada's changing demographic picture would seem to provide some growth opportunities for basketball.
According to a recent study of Statistics Canada data by Solutions Research Group, a Toronto-based consulting firm, basketball is the leading sport among visible minorities in Canada, which is significant given that Canada's visible-minority population is projected to grow by more than 70 per cent by 2017, while the rest of the population will grow by 3 per cent.
"In the next 10 years, Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal in particular will become much more diverse than the rest of Canada," SRG director Kaan Yigit said in an interview. "That trend favours basketball and soccer as fast-growth sports in these markets."
