Question

Which is the second most popular sport in Canada?

📚 Background context

Canadian football is the second most popular sport in Canada. Discover Canada states: "Canadian football is the second most popular" — second only to ice hockey, which leads as Canada's primary spectator sport.

According to Discover Canada, "Canadian football is a popular game that differs in a number of ways from American football", and professional teams compete in the Canadian Football League (CFL) for the championship.

Sport popularity rankings in Discover Canada: ice hockey is the leading spectator sport (with the championship Stanley Cup), Canadian football is second, soccer leads in registered players, and lacrosse is the official summer sport.

🌎 Why this matters today

The distinction between "second most popular" and "most registered players" comes up often on the test. Canadian football is the second most popular as a spectator sport; soccer has the most registered players of any game in Canada.

The CFL — separate from the American National Football League — has its own rules and is part of distinctively Canadian culture.
