When Canadian broadcasters had to try to explain hockey to American audiences in the mid-70s, Brain McFarlane, former CBC sportscaster, conceptualized Peter Puck to introduce the basics of the game.
Iconic – yes.
Cool for kids – yes.
Insulting to Canadians who already knew the game – probably.
As insulting as the glowing FOX puck in the 90s – not even close.
Go retro and dig Peter Puck – a great part of my childhood.
