When the term Miramichi is used, it is a multi-leveled concept. The Miramichi is a river, a city, a community, a region and a state of mind. It is unique and special in its own way. When local hockey broadcaster Hoppy Dunn began his radio telecasts, it was with "Hello, hockey fans from the headwaters of the Miramichi to the farewell buoy." Dunn captures in spirit what the term Miramichi means.
