Notes -
Not entirely sure what you mean by this, but my family and childhood social groups slowly scattered over the last decade or two as Quebec continues to hemorrhage anglos. I had to move a couple of times for grad school, but I have a family/house and I've been in the same city for the past five years or so.
Oddly enough I don't think anyone I knew growing up would watch Don Cherry or even hockey games that regularly. But then, I was also the only kid in the advanced class that played a sport, and I was never that close with any of my hockey teammates so could just be a function of my social circle.
It was just an age joke -- kids these days don't know what it was like to have TFC [1] as their only source of television. But you probably had more than that in Montreal. :)
For vast swathes of rural Canada in the 70s/80s, Saturday really was Hockey Night in Canada, even in the unlikely event that you didn't really care about hockey -- and if you were watching that you were watching Don Cherry in the second intermission.
