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!
Peter Puck is awesome – i’m glad they brought him back to Leafs TV. He”s great at explaining everything, and I love how the players are fit the stereotypical huge buff players lol.
Peter will be missed for the off season =(
This is also avail at Amazon.ca for $8.18 + approx $5 shipping. You get the same price as Chapters but including the shipping charge !
