Hockey Night in Canada (HNIC) is a popular television broadcast of National Hockey League games in Canada. It is produced by the CBC. It consistently remains one of the highest-rated Canadian programs on television. The intermission highlight on HNIC is Coach's Corner which is a show that features Don Cherry and Ron MacLean.

Hockey Night in Canada airs regular season NHL games on the English network of the CBC every Saturday evening. Consecutive games are broadcast live beginning with the early game at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT); the second contest begins after 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT). A French version, La Soirée du hockey, aired until 2004 on Radio-Canada.

As recently as the 1990's, there was only one game televised each Saturday night in any particular locality. Until 1968, regular season games were not broadacst in their entirety. During the 1950's, HNIC would come on the air at 9 p.m. ET, with the game joined in progress early in the second period. In the early 1960's, the broadcast time was moved to 8:30 p.m. ET, which allowed the game to be joined in progress mid-way through the first period. Starting in the fall of 1968, regular-season games were shown in their entirety.
