Canadian sports fans are itching to watch sports again, but many would think twice about attending a game, according to a new poll by Angus Reid.

An Angus Reid online survey conducted May 1-4 asked a randomized sample of 1,527 Canadians how they felt about sports during the COVID-19 pandemic.

One in three indicated playing games in empty venues would be “great,” while over half said “it’s better than nothing,” according to the pollster. The Canadians surveyed yearned for the NHL more than any other pro sports league, with 59 per cent missing hockey compared baseball and basketball .The potential cancellation of the Canadian Football League and National Football League seasons because of the pandemic was a disappointing prospect for 33 per cent asked in both cases.
