Hockey Night in Canada and the United States

Any true hockey fan knows that the gold standard of NHL hockey broadcasts is Hockey Night in Canada.

A great Canadian franchise to be admired by all fans

Having grown up watching this show every Saturday night and now having the opportunity to watch and listen to the best analysis and insight in the game from Raleigh brings great joy to me every weekend. What better source exists for Canadian expats and hockey fans in the US and around the world to get their fill of Coach's Corner with Ron MacLean and Don Cherry or the HotStove with Mike Milbury, Pierre Lebrun, and the selected third media personality willing to sustain the intensity of each segment's discussion. The internet has provided the platform for this great Canadian franchise to be shared by everyone, and with much more content and perspectives on the game than was ever possible years ago.

HNIC will be coming to Raleigh

With the 2011 NHL All-Star Weekend and Game coming to Raleigh, North Carolina from January 27-30, HNIC will be there along with all major sports networks and this should excite local hockey fans. When else will the royalty of NHL hockey broadcasting be in the City of Oaks? Only if and when the Hurricanes return to the Stanley Cup Finals, particularly when facing a Canadian team.

If you haven't had the chance to watch what HNIC has to offer, tune in now and get to know what to expect to see and hear when they are in town.
