Will I need a pair of special glasses, a special television or additional equipment to see the games in 3D?

I saw Queen Elizabeth in 3D on CBC this past summer. Can I use the glasses I used to watch that for these hockey games in 3D?
No, the Queen Elizabeth in 3D special was produced using different 3D technology, and required the use of amber/blue glasses. Neither amber/blue nor red/blue 3D glasses will work with the 3D broadcasts of CBC's Hockey Night in Canada. You will require a 3D-ready television, along with the associated pair of glasses, to view theses broadcasts in 3D.
