Hockey Night in Canada

Hockey Night in Canada has got to be by far the most popular hockey show in the world, or at least in Canada. The show began as a segment in between periods of the game of the week that was broadcasted on the radio in the 1930's. After a couple of years, this segment became a full program, by airing NHL games on the radio until it went to television in 1952. Hockey Night in Canada (HNIC) has been tremendously popular in Canada, not just for the hockey games, but for the Coaches' Corner, the program's intermission show. This segment, hosted by Ron MacLean and the ever famous in the hockey world, Don Cherry, the show has drawn hockey purists to its breakdown of games all over the world. It's no surprise that the show has done so well in country up north. With all of the crazy outfits worn by Don Cherry, which have been auctioned off for thousands of dollars, and his crazy remarks, it's hard not to enjoy this program. Unfortunately, i have not been able to watch the program on a daily basis, but from the clips that i have seen over the internet i have found myself laughing hysterically thanks to all of Cherry's remarks and comments. I encourage everyone to go and look at some of the installments not just to watch Don Cherry (although that what many watch it for), but to get a new understanding for the game of hockey.
