this is more of a question:
Which town in canada has the worst fans?
I say hands down Vancouver....While all the other teams have some of the weirdest fans, Vancouver has the worst hockey fans.....if you can call em that...I like to call them bandwagon jumpers...when the chips are down, the nucks fans leave...When the chips are up, you have to be a part of van cities cultural elite to get a ticket....what a joke!
At least since the dawn of time, you always had to be a higher up to get a leafs ticket....it sucks if you live on T.O. and wanna see a game, but at least, even when the chips are down, the leafs still sell out ( don't even think of using the T.O. population argument.... the raptors don't sell out every game do they?)

most of you guys must be from out west, here in the east you get to see how the habs fans really are, and i can say this becuase besides the canucks there my favourite team, and have been since i was young, the habs fans are the most flip-floppy, when the team is winning there all there bellowing out "OLE OLE OLE OLEEEE OLEEE OLEEEE" or "GO HABS GO", but when the team is losing, if your lucky enough to get fans in the stands there booing as loud as they can be..so that can be looked at as the worst fans, or maybe the best and most loyal...either way the fans in montreal will tell their team how they feel..
- Toronto will always sell out becase of history and the city, Toronto is arguably the biggest city for culture, people, and popularity, with this they will always be putting fans in the stands...not to mention that almost every person in the ACC on a leafs game has either inherited tickets or is a corporate CEO that is taking the head honcho out for saturday night to close a deal |

Best Hockey Fans: in Alberta
Cuz they crazy hockey fans!
I love Calgary fans cuz as much as a rivalry between the Oil and Flames, them awsome Flamer Fans booed Pronger! Go Flames Fans! Plus the Flames fans know how to party
I think both Oil and Flames fans are the best, thats partly why they have such a strong rivalry. They critize their teams, achknowledge the failures, and bash their players plays and horrid desicons, and still cheer them on, hope for the best. Both teams fans are cup hungry. |

I think my whole problem with nucks fans is what you just said........FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS....coincidentally when they started making the playoffs?......The leafs have been selling out for well over 3 decades...well, more like 7 hahahahahahah.......I remember opening up a paper in the late 90's and not seeing the nucks til page 6 of the sports.....NOW THEY'RE ON THE FRONT COVER? What a joke....I think i have a bigger problem with the media here in vancouver rather than the fans....Since it's the media who brainwashes them (EXCEPTION TO DON TAYLOR AKA "THE GREATEST MAN IN SPORTS")....They are pathetic....For you guys whoever read the vancouver province, wouldn't you agree Tony Gallegar is the biggest Douche in journalism?
He's like 6 pounds, so what the f*** does he know about playing hockey?
(By-the-by, I don't personally think a hockey team should ever be on the front page, I mean i think there's bigger things going on in the world than a hockey game)

i disagree with you Guest9278 Toronto is loyal to their fans even if they are and have been doing really bad. They have hope that someday they will win the Stanley cup. Sure i hate the team alot but you cannot say that their fans are not loyal to their team.

I'm from Dallas, and I like hockey. Dallas is a great hockey town because it's in a state whose population is increasing drastically because of immigrants from frigid cold places up north. So, for example, my parents grew up around Cincinatti, loved the Blackhawks, and brought their love of hockey to Texas (including the Dallas Blackhawks). Dallas has had a team since 1941, which is longer than most other American cities, especially any in the south. Sure, it may seem like the town as a whole doesn't care, but that's because it has currently or recently very successful franchises in other sports. Plus, there are still lots of fans around, and the games are generally well attended. But this is about Canadian hockey towns, so let's not get off topic, eh? :) |

Beans, I don't know buddy. Break it down. You said that Calgary fans are bad because they say bad things about Edmonton. Then in the same breath you turn around and tell everyone on the internet that Calgary fans suck. Sounds pretty much the same to me. You sound like an angry Oiler fan. The rest is just semantics. The doc is right (and so is Tiger). But you are entitled to your opinion and the thread is about the worst hockey towns so this is definitely the place to do it.
We've gotten off topic with this, it's not "why beans is right or wrong". Let's drop that part of it and begin mentioning cities where they don't really care about hockey. Dallas anyone?

Ah yes, Beans15....and who do you think has educated and trained these young hockey fans? Yes, the people who have been beaten down for years. So these young fans may think it is normal. Cities, like people have different personalities and attitudes and they are often the product of their upbringing.
I also wanted to point something out that you missed from Tiger's original "call out" of you. You said that bad Flames fans were writing to newspapers and saying that the Oilers don't deserve to be in the playoffs and that they were ignorant because of it. I believe that Tiger may have just been pointing out that your post in the forum of this web site is not much different than that.

I haven't read every one of these yet....but it seems to me no one has mentioned habs fans......I live way out here in vancouver, so I don't see much of them outside of highlights, but it seems they have a loyal following too!.....As they should...is it just me, or are the Habs rarely a total stinker. They are usually contending for a playoff spot (or totally dominating like in the mid/early 70's)...I guess they earned a loyal support staff....On a personal note, as soon as Roy left, I felt Montreal was one of Canada's duller teams....but a good, respectable team none-the-less.

Does that mean that only the meathead Flames fans go to the games?? If there were more "good Flames fans" in the stadiums, those chants would not even get started, or they wouldn't be loud enough to hear them clearly on TV.
And in the end, I am stating my opinion. I find Calgary Fans disrespectful of other teams. To me, that makes them the worst fans. Am I cutting them down?? Maybe, if you perceive it that way. To me, I am not attacking anyone or stating things that are not true. Cutting some one down to me is to attack someone without merit. This is what I believe.
ahem...for my first post at this prestigious web site allow me to psycho analyze.
If what you are saying is true Mr. Beans, and in fact Calgary fans do lash out when they play the Oilers, it may be a symptom of a greater internal struggle; the intense struggle of constantly being in the shadow of the Oilers (with only a couple short reprieves – 89, 04)
Like a younger sibling striking out at an older brother, Calgary may be trying to find its own identity. The Oilers have historically had greater success than the Flames and therefore Flames fans may have mostly felt lesser than the Oiler fans. After all, as human beings we often find our self worth in our successes. So imagine that the Flames have had to endure constant comparison to their regional, and more prolific sibling throughout their lives.
Now, over a short term this pain may not manifest itself in any noticeable way but over the course of a few decades this suffering and resentment can drill deep into the psyche of a fan and manifest itself in the form of verbal abuse and inexplicably acts of fanmanship; acts to which most people soon after feel shame and guilt and would likely apologize for if they weren’t immediately subjected to attacks and ridicule. Do not underestimate the power of a mob-mentality (look at the Vancouver and Montreal riots for example)
So what you are claiming you are seeing may actually be a normal part of growing up. Southern Alberta fans may just be maturing as fans, and to keep with the sibling analogy, perhaps they are in their teenage phase and soon, as they mature and have more success (and failures) of their own they will stop lashing out inappropriately, and appreciate the benefits of having a competitive big brother to guide and push them. A big brother, mind you, who didn’t have to endure such hardship due to a lack of initial regional comparison and timing. Hockey is a game of nuances and inches and so the tables could easily have been turned and Oiler fans should remember that.

Do you have any proof here Guest9278. Canuck fans couldnt give a s*** in my opinion and probably don't know how their team is doing.Their in a weak division too( See thread on that). Toronto consistantly sells out games and everyone agrees with that.
Leaf fans know how their team is doing but the perception of "Leafs Cheer For Nothing" comes from the "drunk losers" and "people who have season tickets and don't know what hockey is" type of people.
I think from what im reading heer that Vancouver and Calgary has bad/horrible fans and i tend to agree with them.

Beans15, what's the name of the thread? Who did you choose as the worst fans? Now, it has been a long time since my highschool math classes but I'm sure that when you add up your answers to both my questions the sum will be an insult the fans of Calgary. So yes, you're cutting them down. That was all I was pointing out in my first response.
The negativity is amplified when you lump the majority of them in with a few losers who don’t have a clue. I’m sure that if you talk to some Flames fans they would have some upsetting Oiler fan stories to tell about their run to the cup final the season before. People have to take the blinders off, every town has a handful of bone-head fans. Calgary and Edmonton are no different.

To those people who say that there are ignorant people everywhere, you are correct. It's just that higher populated area have more ignorant people. It's the Law of Averages. So unfortunately, Toronto and some most major cities in the states are highly populated places. That means your ignorant people are more plentiful.

I've lived in 4 of Canada's NHL markets (Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, and now Vancouver), so I feel a little qualified to pipe in here.
Toronto has the best Maple Leaf fans in the NHL (Vancouver is a close second!). What I mean by that is, they cheer for and support their team blindly, often without logic.
Ottawa fans seem a bit flakey to me, but I honestly believe that is because they don't yet have the history of the other Canadian teams. After all, most people in Ottawa grew up cheering for the Habs or Leafs.
Calgary and Vancouver fans are just as loyal and rabid as Leaf fans, but with two major differences. Most Flames and 'nucks fans are also hockey fans and can name 3 players on most other NHL teams. Ask a Leafs fan to name a player on any other team and often they can only name ex-Leafs... then then rave about them as if they are the second coming. Need I mention CuJo?
Secondly, Canucks fans have every right to stay away from the arena if the team is doing poorly. For years we suffered through bad management decisions, and players who were crappy and/or couldn't care less (Mogilny, Messier, Weekes, etc.) Sure, Toronto fans suffered through all that as well, but with a population base as large as theirs (yes, I am using that arguement!) it stands to reason that they would sell out as often as they do. When they were really bad in the 70's and 80's, they weren't selling season tickets, they were filling the arena with people who wanted to see their team live once or twice a year. Again, with that population, it makes sense they would sell out quickly.
Canucks fan will bitch about their team between games, but when the game is on, they will cheer as loudly as anyone.

Doing everything to knock down the Oil since the Flames were not there.
Yeah, when the local sports-radio station becomes "The Official Radio Station of the Carolina Hurricanes", that was pretty sad, just a single season after ALL of Alberta got behind a low-seeded Flames team for their run.

I agree, strong points by Beans. Tiger is probably a closet Flames fan but cant talk the talk right now cuz my Canucks just beat them twice in the home and home series.
But I digress.
I really wouldnt know who has the worse fans. I bet if you really looked at it, each city would have an equal amount of good fans and bad fans. Look at Edmonton last year. They have a solid fan base and a bunch of idiots make them look bad by causing crap after the games. Red mile or Blue mile or whatever. Every city has morons. I live in Vancouver and listening to the sports talk radio is getting more and more painful with flip flopping fans as 'I Hate Crosby alluded to'

How am I being ignorant Tiger?? Am I cutting down Calgary in any way? I am simply stating that the "majority" of Calgary fans were very negative towards the Oilers during thier playoff runs while Edmonton was quite supportive of the Flames. I have not heard too many other arenas that start chants such as "Edmonton Sucks." I find that Calgary fans are disrespectful towards other teams. |

Doesn't seem any ignorant to me, simply stating what had happened. And even though I'm not a big fan of the Oilers, I did think it was awesome listening to the National Anthems before games, sung by the fans. |
