Federal leaders dish on who they want to win the Stanley Cup [Video]

As the clock ticks down to the end of April, all eyes in Canada are fixed on the country’s most important campaign.

Not the federal election, of course, but the quest for Lord Stanley’s Cup.

Five Canadian teams remain in contention: the Edmonton Oilers, the Winnipeg Jets, the Ottawa Senators, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens.

Given the other big campaign underway, Global News asked each of the three major party leaders who they’re hoping will win the Stanley Cup.

“Look, you’ve got to be loyal, I think. I’m an Oilers fan, cheering for the Oil,” said Liberal Leader Mark Carney, who was raised in the Alberta capital.

“You know what’s going to be tough? Edmonton vs. Jets.”

While Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre grew up in Alberta and represents an Ottawa-area riding, he offered a third preference.
