Canada’s team: Majority of Canadians rooting for Oilers to win Stanley Cup, poll finds

New polling suggests more Canadians are rallying behind the Edmonton Oilers in this year’s Stanley Cup final, as the Alberta team prepares for a rematch against the Florida Panthers. A recent Ipsos poll conducted for Global News found 63 percent of Canadians support the Oilers, with many citing national pride amid tensions with the U.S. as a key reason. More than 8 in 10 respondents say a Cup win would be a powerful symbol of Canadian spirit and identity.
