Awesome! I too grew up in Montreal and will be a Bleu Blanc et Rouge fan till the day I die.

I did moved to Canada as soon as I turned 19. I'm (mostly) a Torontonian now

Well, as far as sports goes I a more or less a casual sports fan. I certainly will listen to football games on the weekend such ass college and pro football, and on occasion listen to baseball too. However, I am in no way a hard core fan of any sport.

As far as pro teams goes I live in north-eastern Ohio so support my local teams such as the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland Browns. I wouldn't necessarily say they are my favorite teams, but since they are my home teams I route for them when they play.

I do much the same when it comes to high school football and basketball. I often route for the West Holmes Knights when they play because they are my local team. I don't have any other reason to consider them a favorite, but since they are local I route for them.

Well, weather or a not a team has a good winning record doesn't have much to do with fan loyalty. Of course, if they have a winning team it will make them more likely to become a fan, but its more about team spirit, the hope of winning, than actually winning itself.

For example, my local NFL team, the Browns, have an abysmal win/loss record. Last year was definitely a bad season for the team. That doesn't seem to effect the number of Clevelanders willing to turn out for the games, who wear their Browns memorabilia during the season, and route for them all the same. After all, there is always a chance that the current season will be better than the prior ones and so the fans keep on hoping for a championship season regardless of how likely it is.

I certainly don't know the answers here, but I am pretty sure there is more to loyalty an fandom than just mere winning and losing. For some, I suppose, it is the need or desire to support the home team no matter if they win or lose.

Favorite sport... is one that wasn't listed here. goalball! but since there aren't anything other than provincial or national teams, it's hard to pick a favorite. I'm also a Canadian, but unlike the two of you I'm a Vancouverite. hahaha So I guess BC would be my favorite team since I play for them! Internationally, I love Japan's teams because of their play style, strategy and general attitude.

Call asaq and they should be able to give you information. I played twice on the youth national mens' team for Canada at the IBSA world youth games in Colorado. 2009 and 2011 were the years I went.

It's the blind sports organization in Quebec... you're from there, right? I don't remember what it stands for... I speak French, but living in Vancouver, I really can't bring myself to remember. But they should have information about goalball for you if you want to get into it. good luck!

Lol I can't remember that organization's name either, but from what I hear, its quite vibrant. Many of my goal ball colleagues here in Toronto have fond stories about the players from Québec.
