CBC’s NHL Door Slams Shut

CBC is no longer carrying NHL games, which is the kind of sentence that would have sounded impossible not that long ago. The network has been part of the league’s Canadian TV identity for decades, but the rights picture has moved on. In hockey, these broadcast shifts are never just business trivia because they change who gets the biggest games and who gets left out of the national conversation. This is one more sign that the old broadcast order is gone for good.
