TMTV/BCTV Kootenays welcomes CBC's Hockey Day In Canada
CBC's HOCKEY DAY IN CANADA drops the puck Jan. 13, 2007
CBC's Hockey Day in Canada decends on Nelson BC Jan 13, 2007. Host Ron MacLean will be front and centre in Nelson to pay tribute to Canada's great frozen game, alongside Don Cherry, Cassie Campbell, Scott Morrison and Dick Irvin. The 2007 edition of CBC'S HOCKEY DAY IN CANADA will honour Canada's countless hockey volunteers: the tireless individuals who are the backbone of the game at the grassroots level and who will do anything - including selling snacks and 50/50 tickets, making hot chocolate and driving cross country - to give kids a chance to play hockey.

CBC'S HOCKEY DAY IN CANADA will also feature the traditional big-ticket NHL all-Canadian tripleheader, beginning with Montreal at Ottawa at 2 p.m. ET, followed by Vancouver at Toronto at 7 p.m. ET (available in High-Definition) and Edmonton at Calgary in the night-cap at 10 p.m. ET. (Please see full broadcast schedule below). CBC'S HOCKEY DAY IN CANADA
"We are very proud to once again be uniting Canadians everywhere to celebrate our great game," said Joel Darling, executive producer, CBC'S HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA. "And, we are also looking forward to commemorating the game's silent heroes: hockey volunteers. Grassroots hockey would not be what it is today without these individuals. We are inviting Canadians from coast to coast to participate in Hockey Day and join us in saluting volunteers everywhere."
During the 13.5 hour-long broadcast, CBC'S HOCKEY DAY IN CANADA will visit the following locations across the country, exploring the importance of our game to these communities: Nelson BC, Camrose Alberta, Whithorse Yukon, Regina Sask, Toronto Ontario and Tignish PEI.
CBC News chief correspondent Peter Mansbridge also heads west for the hockey celebration, as CBC NEWS: The National broadcasts from Nelson on Thursday, Jan. 11 at 10 p.m. on CBC Television and 9 p.m. ET/PT and 11 p.m. ET/PT on CBC Newsworld, while CBC news anchor Gloria Macarenko reports from Nelson on Friday, Jan. 12 as part of the CBC NEWS: Canada Now broadcast at 6:30 p.m. local time.

At 12 noon PT, BC Almanac will broadcast to the entire province of British Columbia from Nelson, in addition to the Victoria, B.C. program All Points West at 4 p.m. PT.
CBC'S
HOCKEY DAY IN CANADA celebration will also feature a live online
chat with Kelly Hrudey and Drew Remenda on Jan. 13, as well as an
exclusive online auction at cbc.ca/hockeyday. Featuring
one-of-a-kind autographed hockey memorabilia graciously donated
by the National Hockey League (NHL), Canadian NHL teams and the
NHL Players' Association, the online auction launches on Dec. 23
at 6 p.m. ET and runs until 12 midnight ET on Jan. 14. Proceeds
will go to minor hockey in British Columbia.
Located in the Selkirk Mountains, on the shore of Kootenay
Lake in southeastern British Columbia, the city of Nelson was
founded in 1886 and was originally called "Stanley"
after Canada's Governor General, Lord Stanley. Nelson's hockey
roots reach much further, however, producing great NHL talent
including Danny Gare, Pat Price and Greg Adams. The small city
was also the hometown of Lester and Frank Patrick, hockey's royal
family, whom many credit with creating modern hockey with several
innovations including the addition of blue lines, the forward
pass, penalty shots and the playoff system.
Nelson's mayor, John Dooley, says "we are absolutely
ecstatic that CBC has chosen Nelson to host Hockey Day ... This
is a true winter sports community, and hockey is an integral
component of culture in Nelson and the surrounding communities.
It is wonderful that CBC is taking the initiative to bring their
Hockey Day broadcast into rural communities such as Nelson and
connecting us with the rest of Canada."
