Recently, we heard that a 74 year tradition is coming to an end, as the CBC revealed that it will no longer carry Hockey Night In Canada. This is due to a sublicensing agreement with Rogers Sportsnet expiring, and the two companies not being able to reach a new agreement, and it means that anyone wanting to watch will have to pay for it.
Regina’s Blu Beach Band, who will be at the Coda Saturday July 11, are big fans of hockey; the members often wear hockey jerseys during performances – and on their current tour, they’ve been asking fans at each stop to sign their Change.org petition which calls on the public broadcaster to bring Hockey Night In Canada back to free television. So far, they’ve collected more than ten thousand verified signatures. If you’d like to add yours, you’ll find that petition right over here.
Here’s Blu Beach’s Carter Vosper doing some hockey talk on CBC’s The 306.
Love, Dr. Scott James
