The Broadcast Booth Special Report
Celebrating hockey with Hockey Day in Canada, Hockey Weekend Across America

 By Denis J. Puska

It was truly a time for celebrating the game of hockey this past weekend.
Hockey Day in Canada and Hockey Weekend Across America are two events aimed at celebrating and hopefully growing the grand old game of hockey.
It's really hard to believe that this is the 10th year for the event in Canada. For those who may not know, Hockey Day in Canada celebrates the game by visiting several different cities across the country. Each city plans their own promotions and events in conjunction with the main event put on by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. I've always had a special feeling watching the event and the farther away I am from Canada, the more meaning it's taken on over the years.
I was upset earlier because I thought I was going to miss the event. I couldn't watch it live on line and the NHL Network or the NHL package wasn't offering a free preview. But once I returned home from attending at Lake Erie Monsters game, I started searching around the CBC.ca website and to my surprise, Hockey Day in Canada was available to watch. It made my day.
