We finally have a Stanley Cup champion in the summer of 2022. Hint: this is the team that defeated the Edmonton Oilers.
Hockey Night in Canada returns to the CBC in October.
CBC will feature Canadian films on Saturday nights in lieu of hockey games.
There were some Saturday nights where CBC didn't air a hockey game so we will recap those films as well.
This summer, the CBC presentations are starting at 9 pm local time (9:30 pm in Newfoundland). The pattern appears to be 3 Canadian films so stay up late or activate the PVR.
Here are the last few Canadian films aired on CBC.

CBC has some really tremendous Canadian films coming up in the next 2 weeks. The day after Canada Day, the CBC schedule will have Falls Around Her (2018) at 9 pm; Closet Monster (2015) at 11 pm; and Mean Dreams (2016) at 1 am.
Tantoo Cardinal is wonderful as a world-famous Anishinaabe musician returns to the reserve in Falls Around Her. Stephen Dunn's debut featuring Connor Jessup as Oscar Madly, a creative and driven teenager, is highly memorable. Mean Dreams is a scary film on a different level with knockout acting across the board.
The July 9 lineup leans female with incredible titles. The evening starts out with The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open (2019) at 9 pm; Mouthpiece (2018) from Patricia Rozema at 11:30 pm; and Level 16 (2018) at 1:30 am.
The opening film from Kathleen Hepburn and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers is almost in a single shot, a captivating tale of a woman helping a pregnant domestic abuse victim. Mouthpiece is a gorgeous film dealing with a writer struggling with the eulogy just after the sudden death of her mother. Level 16 is a psychological thriller that will be your relative new best horror film.
