Call for Action:
Get Hockey Day in Canada Back!
During its five years on television, Hockey Day in Canada on the CBCquickly became a tradition, a February celebration of Canada's game.
But the CBC, which created Hockey Day in 2000, has called off the event this year because of the National Hockey League lockout. Nancy Lee, head of CBC Sports, said Hockey Day was inextricably tied to the broadcast of three NHL games involving Canadian teams. She also said she had neither the staff nor the money to produce the show.
I've already sent in my note of protest - contact the CBC if you'd like to add your voice.
