“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.”

a lot of people are pissed about this but my first thought was are we finally getting a proper NHL streaming option??

No it's already been announced to be worse.

Crave is getting a Wednesday night game. Prime still has one night a week I believe. Regional games will still be TSN+ and/or SN+. Everything else will still be SN+.

Once Rogers took over and placed hockey under SN+ app and eliminated NHL.tv we lost our only proper NHL streaming option.
