If you live in Prince Alberta and are a Raiders season ticket holder you probably enjoy those games more than an Oiler game if you only go to one a year and thankfully aren't really a fan.
Team Canada will always have my rooting interest ... I care. So I'm not analyzing how good the hockey is, I'm just really hoping my side wins.
Same with my kids when I coached. Loved watching my kids play hockey because of once again rooting interest. Having your kids win a great game is magic, if they score a goal or stand out it's a whole other level.

A rooting interest means a lot, but it sure helps if the hockey is high quality and something is on the line.
I find even non Canada games at the World Juniors fun to watch, particularly in the knockout stage. Walking into a Mac's tournament game is pretty good too.
