NHL on Hughes
NHL on Hughes is the de facto name of a TV program that broadcast National Hockey League games on the defunct independent Hughes Television Network during the 1979-80 season. The program aired under the title The NHL '80. Hughes broadcast Thursday night games, the All-Star Game, some playoff games, and the first five games of the Stanley Cup Finals. Hughes technically, used CBC's Hockey Night in Canada feeds for the American coverage of the first five games of the Stanley Cup Finals. The first broadcast involved the Atlanta Flames against the Chicago Blackhawks on January 25.
