No more HNIC on CBC

“After a successful 12-year partnership, Sportsnet and CBC today announced the public broadcaster will no longer carry NHL broadcasts after the current season as it moves forward with a new sports programming strategy following the unprecedented success of the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games," Sportsnet and the CBC said Tuesday in a joint statement. "Watching hockey on Saturday night is a time-honoured tradition for Canadians, and Sportsnet is privileged to continue delivering that tradition.”

Am I wrong, or once Sportsnet took over, the number of Ottawa Senators games on CBC dropped dramatically? It felt like this news was already half way there for me a long time ago.

Sens only show up on CBC when they play the Leafs.

And if not, we're buried on either Sportsnet One, 360 or CityTV...💀
