I heard that Hockey’s popularity in Canada is waning, especially among the immigrant population, and the white liberals, who see it as the sport for “rednecks”.

Yep. Eventually cricket and soccer will be more popular.

And rugby, too. Their women's sevens team won a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and their women's fifteens team won a silver in last year's Rugby World Cup in NZ. Canada's men's rugby teams aren't very successful.
