Leafs or Oilers? Hockey fans split on which team will end Canada's Stanley Cup drought

The end of the National Hockey League’s (NHL) regular season is just days away and four Canadian teams have punched their ticket for the playoffs.

However, opinion among Canadian hockey fans appears to be split as to which team represents the best chance to bring the Cup home.

The last time a Canadian team won hockey’s biggest prize was back in 1993 when the Montreal Canadiens hoisted the cup.

It’s no surprise then that the percentage of hockey fans in this country who don’t care which Canadian team wins the Cup is growing.

The online survey was conducted from April 9 to 11 among a randomized sample of 1,615 Canadian adults.

The institute says a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
