Observations


  • The 3 biggest cities in the NHL have 1 Championship between them in the last 45 years. Rangers won in 1994, Blackhawk’s in 1961 and Kings never.
  • If you compare that to the NBA over the last 45 years there would be 17 Championships from New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
  • Also if your compare that to MLB over the last 45 years there would be 15 Championships from the 3 major markets in their league.
  • The NFL numbers were not used because this league doesn't need big cities winning championships to have a large fan base.

About this Page

Some of the City & Metro Pop numbers are from the actual census taken US2000 & CDN2001 and some are recent guesstimate numbers, which seem to fluctuate.
