Hopefully this is the case. As more kids watch Canada perform in events like the T20 they become interested in the game and hopefully pursue it.
Canada saw huge growth in basketball interest after Toronto got an NBA team in the 90s. Now there are many nba players from Canada. I think something similar will happen with cricket.

But hockey will always remain the most popular sport?

I am not sure. Definitely for the foreseeable future but Canada’s demographics are changing drastically and not many kids play hockey anymore due to how expensive it is. A lot more kids playing soccer now than when I grew up. When I was a kid everyone played hockey in the winter (if not in a league, at least on the outdoor rink for fun) and baseball in the summer.
I think hockey will still be the most popular sport in suburban and rural Canada but in the cities who knows.
