In the northern USA, Hockey is second in viewers only to football, except for NY and Boston, where Baseball is king.
I was actually just looking at sports viewership stats across North America in one of the news papers here for the whole of North America. It was pretty interesting actually.

I was talking about the strike. NHL was lucky to recover from that. A decent channel didn't even want to show the playoffs for awhile afterward.
Don't forget to add the west USA. Teams failing out there too.
It's pretty much just a northeastern/central thing.
I wonder what the viewership would look like if you threw in March Madness. There are a ton of good teams in the northeast that get huge viewership numbers. These are basketball fans that aren't exactly in love with the NBA. NCAA hockey viewership is pure shit, so I doubt it would make a dent.
