Sorry. I am not a hockey fan but yes, Hockey is the #4 sport in America and would likely still be there ahead of Soccer if we win the world cup. It's true. Ask the casual American sports fan to name some good hockey teams currently, they may name some teams that have not been good in years but they still know them. Now ask them to name some good soccer teams. Many people don't even know we have a soccer league in America. Personally I hope Soccer passes Hockey as I like it more but I am just stating reality.
btw many people, I'm not one of them, would still argue Baseball is america's #2 sport over basketball.
