The popularity of hockey in Canada is not quite analagous to the US. Also, besides the Winter Carnival, what else was there to compete for Quebec City's entertainment dollars?

At the same time, Rick Peckham and Gerry Cheevers also called Hartford Whalers' games for the old Sportschannel-New England.
Didn't SCNE also produce the Whalers' telecasts that were shown on WHCT??

@altfactor Not directly. WHCT actually contracted some of the SCNE personnel, along with some other folks that had worked on Rangers telecasts at the old WOR in NYC to handle the Whalers telecasts. There were a few sell outs at the Hartford Civic Center during the 1986-1987 season where the Whalers actually simulcasted the raw SCNE feed on Channel 18, with Channel 18's graphics. The Adams division clinching game vs. the Rangers in April '87 was one of those.

If you get the NHL Center Ice package on digital cable or Direct TV, you can still hear Rick Peckham call games for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
