Most of our sports are pretty much the same as in the States, with more emphasis on Hockey. However Canada only has 1 MLB team (Toronto blue jays), 1 NBA team (Toronto Raptors) and 1 MLS team (Toronto FC).
I'm Canadian, I grew up and live near Toronto so I've been to a lot of Jays games, raptor games & hockey games.
We don't have any NFL teams but we have our own crap league, the CFL (Canadian Football League).
I played 15 years of baseball, great sport to play terrible to watch. Same with basketball a blast to play but just boring as can be to watch (aside the last 3 minutes).
I don't mean to offend all of the Europeans here but Soccer (football) is the most boring of them all to most Canadians. I think it's because we are surrounded by action intense sports like american football & hockey. I can't stand watching 90 minutes of a sport to end in a "null-null" game.
Up here Hockey pretty much owns them all (we also like Lacrosse, our national sport). We can bring in more fans to a junior hockey game (ages 16-20) than some NHL teams in the southern states. About 3-4% of my towns population comes out to our Junior Team's games.
If I were to rank our major sports in order of excitement:
1. Hockey
2. American Football
3. Lacrosse
4. Baseball/Basketball
5. Golf
6. Poker
7. Fishing
8. Sex
9. Watching paint dry
10. Soccer
