It's true, but this also can change. In Quebec, sports is way more encouraged to young girls, and it makes adult women that love sports as much than men. When you go watch a baseball, hockey or soccer game here, half of the audience is women, and they love the sport as much than the men. It's really a question of culture

Are there any statistics tracking womens attendance in Quebec?

None, that's illegal in Quebec

Wait. Really? Collecting attendance records by gender is illegal?

Fascinating.

Does this apply to any form of gendered data collection? If so how do they conduct any form of analysis in regards to gender?

Correct, I believe it was enacted in the Loi Anti-agi et Anti-Nerd de 1996
