Because I follow the whole league, not just the caps.
League info is easily accessible to Canadians because there is so much interest here with regards to hockey. On trade deadline day, sportsnet and TSN dedicate their whole day to The NHL. Same with July 1st when free agency usually opens up.
Our sportscentre on TSN will show every hockey highlight and analyze everything going on in the league for 20 min then speed through all other sports. In the States, they are lucky to get much more than 2-3 min dedicated to hockey in a 30 min sportscentre show on ESPN.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I assume Football(soccer) there is the main focus on your sporting news stations. Do they even show NHL highlights?
We also have the best developmental league in the world so I know players around the league before they are in it. I frequently go to watch junior games that caps prospects play in around me. Carlson and McMichael played an hour away from me in London(not your London) and I'd watch Burakovsky and Wilson when they'd come to Kitchener to play, always wearing my old school caps jerseys for the game.
