The Hockey Theme

Canadian sports at their finest.

Every Saturday night during hockey season, The Canadian broadcasting corporation (CBC for short) shows 1 or 2 hockey games involving Canadian teams. sometimes the Canadian teams play the American teams, but never in the regular season (only during the playoffs) will 2 American teams play each other on CBC.

Don cherry is a classic color commentator, his big mouth keeping him a contract with CBC. Ron McLean is also the perfect play-by-play commentator, with great enthusiasm.

The Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, Ottawa senators, Montreal Canadians, and Toronto maple leafs are the teams that are televised today. in the past, there was also Winnipeg, Quebec, and a few others.

Hockey night in Canada prepares to enter it's 54th season, and i expect great stuff from it.
