Show notes

In December 1970, Roy Spencer—father of NHL player Brian “Spinner” Spencer—drove 135 kilometers from Fort St. James to a CBC-affiliate station in Prince George, British Columbia, furious that the station had switched from airing his son’s hockey game to a Vancouver Canucks match. Armed with a 9 mm pistol, Spencer stormed the building, holding staff and on-air talent hostage for over an hour. Demanding the Maple Leafs broadcast be restored or the station silenced, he even disabled phone and studio lines.
