Stampman Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Well Leafs vs Bruins was the first NHL game in Canada on TV--but as you never narrowed it down...(Unless that hockeey book I read all those years ago is wrong!)--Okay I re-checked and saw yes the Leafs Bruins was first NHL in Canada, but just over a decade earlier (1940) an NHL game was broadcast as an experiment-It involved the Rangers and a Canadian based team other than the Leafs!

NJTank Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 And that is indeed the correct answer Rangers vs CanadiensKeep in mind much of the early TV expaiments took place in New York so it only makes sense that this too happened there.
