I too have travelled all over Europe. I have found most people know Calgary for Olympics, Stampede, mountains, and also the Flames.
A border guard in Slovakia once took a look at my passport (in the 90's) and yelled "Robert Reichel! Calgary Flames!"
He was very excited.
The people that know the Stampede surprise me the most. Didn't think it registered too much in Europe.
