1973-74 NHL Season

Canadian crews:
Notes:
Air times may be slightly off due to the Energy Crisis. Canada apparently did not turn clocks back for Standard time as the U.S. did in November. So air time at 8 PM Eastern, may actually be 9 PM Eastern in the US from 10/28/73 through 4/19/74.

A gentleman named Bob Cole, who had been doing play by play for CBC radio broadcasts of Sunday Night NHL games, would, for the first time, be called upon to spell Bill Hewitt for the call on some Toronto TV games. He would also fill in for Danny Gallivan for several Montreal games in January due to Gallivan being under the weather.

Item of note:
Only several teams wore nameplates on the back of their jerseys, and only on the home jerseys at that. NBC had the teams in all of their telecasts wear temporary nameplates on their jerseys for those teams that did not permanently have them.
