There really is no official list of the most popular sports but I would say hockey is not the third most popular sport in the world. Baseball, Basketball, football , and soccer are all more popular but i would say hockey is close behind.
Hockey
Soccer and its the most popular sport in the world especially in third world countries
baseball
Field Hockey With Football 1st and Cricket 2nd
professional gaming and fapping are ahead
There is many opinions about that. However the most popular sport is soccer.
There are many sports in the world that are popular/well known... Hockey is a great sport and is played all over the world and is very popular as well to all over the world. However football is also very popular and many people are very interested in it, which is where people who are a big fan of it think it is the most popular sport in the world. Actually football is not even one of the most popular sport in the world, Hockey is the most played sport in the word and is very popular and liked across all the world. Great Britain is not a big fan of Hockey however is played Marjoryly all over the rest of the world! I hope this helped!
Hockey is in the Olympics because not only is it Canada's past-time, it is also played around the world. It is a very popular sport.
While Canadians enjoy baseball (and the Toronto Blue Jays won two World Series, in 1992-1993), Canada is known for a deep love of hockey and devotion to a sport called curling. Also, Canadian football remains popular in some cities.
