Such VERY sad news to see today. Hockey Night in Canada on CBC / CBC Sports has been a staple of the NHL for so long it just won't be the same without it showing hockey any more.

There was a strong historical connection as well as carried games 1, 3, 5 & 7 while CTV carried 2, 4 & 6. And, with Team Canada's remarkable comeback underway, BOTH networks carried Game 8 across providing the greatest TV coverage the country had ever seen for the exciting and climactic final match.

In terms of its history, the iconic broadcast's timeline goes back 93 years to when it first aired NHL hockey on radio in 1933 as part of Hockey Broadcast on CRBC (later CBC Radio), and 90 years since it adopted the official Hockey Night in Canada name in 1936. It had its television debut on CBC on October, 11, 1952 making this a legendary 74-year run on TV's across the country until that ended following this year's 2026 NHL playoffs.

It will be greatly missed.

We lost another member of the 1972 Summit Series family with the recent passing of Dennis Hull at age 81, the younger brother of Bobby Hull. Dennis had a notable NHL career and also played a very important role for Team Canada when brother Bobby was prevented from participating - first by accepting his invitation at Bobby's urging, and also by playing very effectively when he joined the line-up in Game 4 in Vancouver. Then solidifying his roster spot during the last three crucial games where he helped lead Canada to victory, posting a superb +4 in the 4 games he played and contributing with his speed and head's-up, effective two-play on the big ice working well with his linemates Jean Ratelle and Rod Gilbert.

He will be greatly missed.

Thanks to TSN for the share.

Five-time NHL All-Star Dennis Hull has passed away. He was 81.

The brother of Bobby, and uncle to Brett and Bart, he played 13 seasons for the Blackhawks. He was also a pivotal role in helping Canada win the 1972 Summit Series.
