The Aboriginal Peoples Television Network aired Sunday night's game between the Montreal Canadiens and Carolina Hurricanes in Plains Cree — the first ever NHL game to be broadcast in that language. While the play-by-play and colour commentary were called in Cree, Chabot himself does not speak the language. Untapped resource for NHLSunday wasn't the first time an NHL game has been presented in an Indigenous language. CBC North broadcasters called an NHL game in Inuktitut during Hockey Day in Canada in 2010. "NHL pro hockey wants to find the next thing ... and communities in the North and communities on reserve are the next step."
