NHL on Sportsnet

NHL on Sportsnet is an upcoming presentation of NHL games to be broadcast by Sportsnet and other networks owned by Rogers Media to debut at the beginning of the 2014–15 NHL season.

The arrangement will supersede the league's previous Canadian broadcast television and cable rights deals with CBC and TSN that expired at the end of the 2013–14 NHL season and accompany its existing regional deals with four of Canada's NHL teams.

The deal primarily emphasizes increased access to NHL content in Canada, with plans to leverage Rogers' various broadcast and cable television outlets (along with CBC Television) to air a larger number of NHL games nationally than under existing deals with plans to nationally televise at least 7 games weekly on Saturday nights through a revised Hockey Night in Canada along with a new primetime, Sunday night game of the week on City and exclusivity for games on Sportsnet on Wednesday nights.

Sportsnet (then known as CTV Sportsnet) previously held the national cable rights for NHL regular season and playoff games from 1998 to 2002.
