The Montreal Canadiens aren’t among Canada’s favourite sports teams

According to a new reputation study by Legér, the most respected sports teams in Canada are the Toronto Raptors, Toronto Blue Jays and Winnipeg Jets. A stat likely to upset Habs fans: The Montreal Canadiens didn’t even make Canada’s top 10 favourite sports teams overall.

1. Toronto Raptors (Reputation Score: 59)
2. Toronto Blue Jays (57)
3. Winnipeg Jets (55)
4. Montreal Alouettes (51)
5. Calgary Stampeders (50)
6. Toronto Maple Leafs (48)
7. Calgary Flames (47)
8. Edmonton Oilers (46)
9. Vancouver Canucks (46)
10. Winnipeg Blue Bombers (45)

“We were also surprised that the Montreal Canadiens did not make it into the top 10 most reputable professional sports teams list, even though they are part of the NHL’s Original Six and many Canadians are aware of them. As fans return to stadiums, arenas, and fields across Canada, we will continue to monitor Canada’s most reputable sports teams through our annual Reputation study.”
