In Topic: Canucks fever outstripping pre-Olympic excitement

I read a stat somewhere that makes for interesting reading (probably already well known in Canada - so forgive me, but non Ice-Hockey fans may be interested!)

1976 - Olympic Games Montreal
1977 - Stanley Cup Champions Montreal

1988 - Olympic Games Calgary
1989 - Stanley Cup Champions Calgary

2010 - Olympic Games Vancouver
2011 - Stanley Cup Champions....?!

In Topic: Carling Nations Cup

Shocking to see how low the attendance figures were for these games.

Questions

1) Would a full home internationals tournament with England involved, and home games for all teams be better attended?
2) Do we see the nations cup coming back in this format given the low attendances?

Some good arguments from both sides. In my view the most likely outcome for Canada is a summer games, maybe in the 30s or 40s and it will be in Toronto. Unless they decide they'd rather have another winters in which case we'll be coming together in Calgary again.

To add to the fact, Syncro swimming and Diving will be dropped from 2018 meaning 3-7 more medals gone for Canada.

34 medals is ridiculous in shooting, but in 2014 it will be much less then the 34 (20). Shooting looks like a sport in decline in Canada.

In 2014, Judo and Triathlon return while Archery is dropped coupled with the fact India are not hosting, Canada should be back in the top 3 in 2014.

Interesting stuff - where is the info from?
