The Steve Yzerman jersey retirement ceremony two nights ago generated a rating of 7.7 (149,000 households) on FSN in the metro Detroit area. I wonder how the CBC ratings were across Canada for that night.

CBC had a 1.0 rating in Detroit. The game between the Red Wings and Ducks drew a 6.6 rating on FSN.

To put the rating in perspective, the average Tigers game last season drew a 7.1 rating. FSN Detroit spokesman Tim Bryant said the Yzerman rating was the highest for a non-game.
