Growing up in Richmond, basketball is definitely the most popular sport due to the huge Chinese population we have. You always see lots of them wearing NBA jerseys and our courts were always overcrowded. However the white kids in school were all about hockey (well at my school it was rugby but we're an oddity.) It seemed like the white part of town and Chinese part ran parallel to each other as there was very little overlap due to the language barrier. As such both hockey and basketball are big. And like I said earlier, everybody plays soccer when they're young but then quits and never does much in it again.
