Wow your guys' friends must be a lot different than mine. None of my friends are hockey fans first, including myself. We're all Flames fans first and foremost and then will watch some other hockey if nothing else is on, maybe.

I personally find it really hard to get into any sport without a team that I have a real connection too. I don't hate football or basketball however I DESPISE baseball but I'll "watch" (I use that word very loosely) a Jays game over pretty much any football or basketball game just cause I have a team I can get behind.

Either way, I don't really see a gap or difference in the amount of Flames fans from one generation to the next. I'm sure whatever they call the generation younger than Millennials will also love hockey just as much, so long as they have a team to get behind.
