## Resource

Hockey Night in Canada was a staple for many households; it's how a lot of young hockey fans fell in love with the game. But now, its future is uncertain. An agreement between Rogers Communications and the CBC that allowed HNIC to air on the network recently expired. But a Regina band is hoping to change that. Carter Vosper, lead singer and guitarist for Regina's Blu Beach Band, joins Evan to share why the band started a petition to save HNIC.
