I did the same thing with two of my three daughters, one of them has no interest in NHL hockey but has become a big fan of going to Ice Dog games with me (OHL). The key for me to get them hooked when they were little was to let them stay up late to watch the Oilers hockey game with me only if they would wear something Oilers (a jersey, t-shirt, hat, etc...) during the game. It definitely helped being in the eastern time zone so they were super excited to stay up past their bed time. I also used to gaslight them by saying that the game was over at the end of the first period when they were too young to know better. It meant I had some explaining to do when they went to bed with the Oilers leading after the first thinking they won the game and then finding out in the morning that they lost. I usually just attributed that to them being up so late that they must have been dreaming about the win or that they just remembered wrong they were so tired.
I am not saying lying to your kids is a good idea, but I won't complain about the results since the two of them (age 14 and 18) love to watch most games with me still to this day. My oldest was away at Uni for most of the season so we didn't get to watch too much together (it has been great to have her home for the summer) but it was still something we texted and talked about.
I know this will make me sound like an old man (I guess I am) but, the hockey (and specifically the Oilers) has been the greatest connection between my daughters and I. We can and do talk about so many things but during those years when teenage girls tend to pull away from their parents (and especially their dad), we have maintained a love for the team and it has meant that communication channels have always remained open.
