Hockey Night in Canada Partial Intro & Montage (Start of 2023/24 Season)

Originally aired on October 14, 2023 at 7:00PM
A new season and HNiC starts its 71st year on television.
DYK: This season marks 10 years since CBC Sports aired its last season of HNiC before Rogers began their 12-year broadcasting contract with the NHL.
The game aired on CBC Television, Citytv and Sportsnet. Like last year, I recorded this on CBC Gem.
At 7PM, the Minnesota Wild travel to Toronto to face the Maple Leafs, the Chicago Blackhawks takes on the Canadiens and the Calgary Flames go to Pittsburgh to face the Penguins. At 10PM, the Oilers will try to get revenge against the Vancouver Canucks.
Results will be here (as of 10/15/2023, 12:43AM):
MIN-TOR: Leafs win 7-4
CHI-MTL: Habs win 3-2
CAL-PITT: Pens win 5-2
EDM-VAN: Canucks win 4-3
Song: Beautiful Day by U2

I'm not even Canadian but when I saw this on a stream it absolutely blew me away. American broadcasters don't even come close.

Beautiful intro. Love the song, same song used in the 2007 playoff montage

[@borg9nine]

Beautifully produced. Great job!

I saw someone uploaded this and I thought it was a prank vid because they used the sound from previous HNIC intros (hearing the lights buzz was my indicator) but nope they really used the older audio

[@davidmanful4797]

I honestly didn't notice it live until before I uploaded this video.

[@palikliment9814]

Beautiful! Thank you for this masterpiece! :)

As a Leafs fan, I've a feeling the video of Armstrong & the 67 Leafs taking the ice should be in the intro to Sportsnet's broadcasts of Molson Leafs Hockey.

Better than last year’s I’ll say…

[@jamesdalton2811]

Will you upload the full one please?

[@educatedrock]

Go Leafs Go, ohhhhhhhhhhhhh baby

[@TimFrith24]

Will Hockey Night in Canada return to CBC in 2025?

Don Cherry was 100% right, and should have never been fired

[@BayBye2011]

excellent video except HNIC is not the same without Don and having the backstabber narrate the video was a horrible choice and hockey fans do not forget. imagine being fired for supporting our vets and the poppy....

[@PatFrenchLeafsFan1]

I'd rather hear Grapes screaming Mike Myers' tirade as Shrek. "I forgive you... FOR STABBIN' ME IN THE BACK!!!!"

[@mangdannyboy]

How many years has it been, and some people still don’t get why he was actually fired?
By the way…also a hockey fan here . And I think HNIC’s a much better place now without Grapes and his uncalled-for comments in it.

[@99jerseyboy]

I saw this opening and thought, "WOW, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL and makes me wanna lace up the skates right now!" Then my immediate thought was hoping someone uploaded it to TH-cam to be enjoyed forever. Thank you for posting it since HNIC doesn't seem to understand how truly awesome these intros are or that they should be shared for hockey history and not just aired once. 👍💪😎🥅🏒❤

You're welcome! Hoped you enjoyed it.
