Hockey Day in Canada

Hey, hockey fans and other owners of televisions! Next Saturday it's time again for Hockey Day in Canada, a coast-to-coast, 13-hour event that includes zillions of little local features about hockey plus 3 all-Canadian NHL games. This year, those of us in the U.S. can watch the whole thing on NHL Network. If you like hockey or you just want to gain some insight into a fundamental element of Canadian culture, check it out, especially the first 3 hours that take place before the first NHL game starts.
