That's what causes the bandwagon. Girls grow up in homes with hockey fanatic dads, they like the team but they don't know the sport, so when they go to the games, they just cheer the team on because its fun. Most hockey fans are leafs fans, regardless if they are serious about the sport or not. But since some of them aren't so much loyal as they are just.. following the trend.. they might be intrigued by another team in Toronto.
Not denying Torontos fanbase as the biggest and most loyal fanbase in sports, but they have a lot of fans that are just leafs fans because that's the only team they know that's in the NHL.
