1985-86 NHL Season
Canadian crews here.
Two items of note:
CTV starts a nearly full season of telecasts, once the CFL regular season is completed.
National cable telecasts begin for the first time as well as TSN starts its long association with the NHL (once some legal snafus were settled). TSN also lands the NHL All-Star Game as CTV begs off due to a commitment to carry a mini-series.

Game 1, Blues-Flames, 9:30. CTV: Dan Kelly, Ron Reusch, Dan Matheson. CBC: Don Wittman, Gary Dornhoefer, Ron MacLean
CTV/Carling-O'Keefe had the national rights for the CGY-STL series, except for the Calgary market, where the CBC affiliate, using an HNIC crew televised the series. CTV was not able to cover Games 2 and 3, due to prior programming commitments, so CBC was given the OK to carry these games to British Columbia and Alberta only.
