1)When asked this in the past, my answer has been "During the main season and until my team is knocked out, I watch my team. When my team is knocked out, I watch the sport." Further info in #2
2)I don't dedicate much time to actually 'watching' the Flames. But I find that hockey makes great background noise, so if hockey's in-season, I often have it on. I do usually go to/try to go to 3 actual games per season (it's a father/son thing).
3)Kinda 50/50 between interested and casual.
4)Due to the nature of the way I watch hockey, I'd need to move. Unless it was to Edmonton. I can't ever see myself cheering for them. But if I moved to a city that had a team, I'd probably pull for them.
5)The on-ice product is generally interesting enough to keep my attention as background noise. When I go to see a game, I usually have a pretty good time. But...there are some things that really irritate me, and officiating is a big one.
