Page "Hockey Night in Canada" Paragraph 18

At the end of the first period, MacLean hosts Coach's Corner, featuring himself and former NHL Coach of the Year Don Cherry.

On Coach's Corner, Cherry analyzes the game's first period and gives tips on various points of hockey, with MacLean acting as Cherry's foil.

There are times in which Cherry tends to be controversial ; for example, in 2003, Cherry stated that the majority of players wearing facial protection in the NHL are French-Canadians and Europeans ( though a study done by a lawyer confirmed Cherry's assertion ).

In any case, this controversy led to Coach's Corner being put on a seven-second delay for the rest of the season by the CBC.

The seven-second delay has been subsequently removed from the broadcast.

CBC also opted not to place a 2003 segment where Cherry and MacLean debated the nascent Iraq War on its website.
