Lacrosse is Canada's official national summer sport. Ice hockey is the official national winter sport (and also its most popular with spectators, and the one with which Canada has the most international success). Association football boasts the largest player base in the country, although very little professional and spectator attention. Both the Canadian and American football codes have strong popularity as spectator sports. Baseball has a long history in the country.
Its not even in the top 5, lacrosse is hockey for people who can't skate. Since skating is a talent that takes years to master and most Americans want everything and to be good at everything they do the first time they try it.
The most popular sport by far in Canada is hockey at the professional, amateur and even unorganized levels. The Canadian Football league is the second most popular spectator sport and subsequently American style football has become very popular at the high school level as well. Lacrosse is actually the country's National sport, but it's popularity is not at the level it was in the 19th century. Basketball, baseball and soccer are some other popular sports in Canada.
