I remember when we came to Canada and lived in Baie Comeau and only got French TV stations, Hockey Night in Canada was a highlight of the week!
The end of Hockey Night in Canada is more than just the end of a television show.
Hockey Night in Canada was something uniquely Canadian.
Now it is gone.
A piece of our cultural tapestry now in the dustbin of history.
Hockey Night in Canada will no longer air on CBC after the current season, ending a tradition that has been on Canadian TV since 1952. Sportsnet and CBC announced the end of their 12-year NHL partnership. 📺 🇨🇦
Hockey Night in Canada on CBC is the eighth longest running TV show in THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD at 72 seasons.
Add in radio, and it's been a Saturday night fixture for families on CBC for 90 years.
There has never been a Canadian cultural institution like it, and there never will be again.
BEHIND A PAYWALL!
