Toronto? Well at least I can attend as I live in Toronto now. Toronto seems to do a terrible job promoting sports at the grass roots level. They won't even show up for the national team. It's so bizarre.

If Carleton were a Nova Scotia university they'd be playing in front of 10,000 people/game, I guarantee you. Varsity basketball and football are a big deal out east because they fill a void: there's no pro sports to speak of. Those 2 sports seem to hold their own against hockey in that part of the country as well.
Atlantic Conference basketball finals get 3000-6000/game. That tournament usually outdraws Canada's other 3 conference tournaments combined and this in a city of only 400,000 people.
