Hockey Night in Canada: 60th Anniversary,
by Michael McKinley. Hockey Night in
Canada made its television debut in 1952—
60 years ago. From the beginning it didn’t just
passively aim a camera at a game—the show
and its broadcasters actively gave the country
a prism through which it could see itself and
its evolving diversity. This book captures the
culture of the long-running show and the culture it has created by finding the emotional
life within the story and in the wider world in
which the show lives.
