Meanwhile, 42% will follow very or somewhat closely. Albertans (58%) and men (50%) are more likely to follow the finals. Only one-quarter of Americans (27%) will be following the Stanley Cup finals.
  • 83% of Canadians who will be following the finals are cheering for the Edmonton Oilers, while only 10% will cheer for the Florida Panthers.
  • Around half of Americans who are following the finals (49%) will be cheering for the Florida Panthers, while one-third (32%) will be cheering for the Edmonton Oilers.

Methodology

This web survey was conducted from June 7 to 9, 2024, with 1,528 Canadians and 1,003 Americans aged 18 or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel. A margin of error cannot be associated with a non-probability sample in a panel survey. For comparison, a probability sample of 1,529 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.5 %, and a probability sample of 1,003 respondents would have a margin of error of ±3.1 % 19 times out of 20.​
