Can You Tell the Hawks How to Get to Sesame Street?

Big Bird is out for blood in this episode of Historically Accurate, where host Dawn-Michelle partners with long-time friend and voiceover artist Erin Grey to talk about a long forgotten hockey game from December 21, 1975. The line-up? The Black Hawks v. Sesame Street. Dawn-Michelle tells Erin all about this historic game, which didn’t seem to have a winner, but which, obviously “America won.” To celebrate the holiday season, go back in time and watch Cookie Monster mistake a hockey puck for his favorite treat. A video of the match will be available on Instagram and Facebook. For more nerdy content, check out Erin Grey’s appearances on the Youtube Channels @GeeksforFun, @SmugStick, and @SilvaGunna.
