Hockey is a niche sport.
Could not the same be said of football and baseball? Certainly, they are much better draws in North America, but baseball and the NFL outside of this continent barely register on most radars. In Europe, the "real" football, cricket, and even formula one all get better coverage than anything that happens across the Pond. I would expect the case is much the same in China and India where most of the world lives; places that I guarantee have never even heard of the Edmonton Oilers, and probably not even the Dallas Cowboys.
