In a shocking move that will send shockwaves through the hockey world, Sportsnet and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) have announced they are ending their long-standing partnership to broadcast National Hockey League (NHL) games.

The split is set to take effect in 2026, leaving hockey fans wondering what the future holds for NHL coverage in Canada. As the NHL continues to grow in popularity, fans are eagerly awaiting news on who will take over the broadcast rights and how the landscape of Canadian hockey coverage will change.
