How popular is Hockey in Italy? 🏒 🥅

I know that there is Series A and then various leagues that follow but outside of Tre Venezie (and also inward) how widespread is the sport to the average Italian? Are Sicilians moved by it despite the difference in geography? I’m from Seattle and we have had a team for just a few years in modern time. There was a team before WWI. Do people only care in dolomiti? Respond in Italian or English, I never know what to write over here. Grazie regà.
