If you watched Hockey Night in Canada any­time in the 1970’s, chances are you’re inti­mately famil­iar with the one they call Peter Puck. A joint col­lab­o­ra­tion between the NHL and Hanna-Barbera Stu­dios, Mr. Puck was an ani­mated fel­low who taught kids (and Amer­i­cans on NBC Game of the Week) the basic prin­ci­ples of the game. Check out the video above for the very first episode of Peter Puck, “How to Play the Game.”

If you’re an old school fan of the Puck or just look­ing to teach your kids the finer points of hockey, the com­plete Peter Puck col­lec­tion is avail­able on DVD. It runs about 30 min­utes, which explains why you can pick it up on Chapters.ca for only $12.99. Don’t for­get to make your Chap­ters pur­chases through the Smart­Canucks Cash­Back pro­gram to save even more!
