Hockey

National Hockey League

Rogers Communications is the sole NHL national copyright holder in Canada in the NHL 2014-15 season. Most national television broadcasts air on the Sportsnet property, and include, but are not limited to:

• Scotiabank Wednesday Night Hockey ; exclusive national window on Sportsnet on Wednesday night.
• Thursday Night Hockey ; Thursday night game on Sportsnet 360
• Simulcast games from U.S. broadcasters, including regional sports networks and NHL on NBC .
• Hockey Night in Canada : an exclusive national window for the Canadian team on Saturday night, several matches aired on CBC Television, City and Sportsnet channels.
  • In rare circumstances, due to non-hockey programming conflicts, Sportsnet regional channels can show different games. However, Sportsnet's four regional channels are nationally available through the digital services of most providers.
• Rogers Hometown Hockey : National Week-to-Week game at Sportsnet, with pre-match performances aired from various Canadian cities.
• Stanley Cup Playoffs coverage; the initial round is shared between CBC and Sportsnet. All games from the conference finals will be broadcast by both networks.
• The distribution and rights of Canadian marketing to NHL.tv (Rogers NHL Live) and NHL Center Ice service, which runs off-market games and US national television games that are not aired by Sportsnet channels.
• Hockey Night in Canada: Punjabi Edition : Selected Hockey Night in Canada game coverage and playoff game with Punjabi language commentary on Omni Television.

French rights are granted a sub license to Quebecor Media; all coverage airs on TVA Sports. La super soirÃÆ' Â © e LNH serves as the main broadcast on Saturday night, usually featuring Montreal Canadiens.

Regional

The Canadian team also contracts with local or regional broadcasters for selected pre-season and regular season games not covered by the national contract. This deal is separate from national rights treaties, and can include up to 60 regular season games per season. The current rights are in the NHL 2017-18 season.

• Vancouver Canucks: Sportsnet Pacific
• Edmonton Oilers: Sportsnet West
• Calgary Flames: Sportsnet West
• Winnipeg Jets: TSN3
• Toronto Maple Leafs: Sportsnet Ontario (16 games), TSN4 (26 games) (England)
  • The rights to Maple Leafs' regional broadcasts are shared equally between TSN and Sportsnet (whose parent company owns a common majority stake in the parent company). Of the 26 regional Sportsnet Leafs games, ten were broadcast nationwide along with Rogers national NHL rights, with Molson Canada as the sponsor.
  • The team's Leafs Nation network is airing reruns and other additional coverage from the team.
• Ottawa Senator: TSN5 and RDS/RDS2
• Montreal Canadiens: TSN2 and RDS

Each team's regional team broadcast is limited to viewers from the team's original broadcast area as assigned by the NHL. Outside the area, this broadcast is made available exclusively through the NHL Center Ice (TV) or Rogers NHL Live (streaming). If a home channel is available outside the team area (for example, a Sportsnet feed outside the market), the game broadcast must be discolored in this other area. Sportsnet also operates a part-time channel for Canucks, Flames, and Oilers in case of scheduling conflicts: this channel is bound by Sportsnet One license. During that period holding rights, Sportsnet uses CJNT City station as an overflow channel for Canadiens games instead.

Under the previous rights agreement (2002-14) with RDS, Canadiens canceled a separate regional rights contract (at its founding, RDS was the only French national sporting channel in Canada) and allowed all its games to be broadcast nationally in French together with RDS package. With the transition to TVA Sports as the national copyright holder, Canadiens chose to negotiate a 12-year regional rights agreement with RDS (this team is partly owned by BCE Inc.'s trunk) in the team's designated broadcast area.

US teams near the Canadian-US border can now also sell Canadian regional broadcasting rights to their games. In the 2013-14 season, Bell Satellite TV and Bell Fibe TV have regional rights to broadcast Buffalo Sabers to parts of Canada within a 50 mile radius of First Niagara Center, around the stretch from Niagara Falls to the Stoney Creek community in Hamilton. Sabers game broadcasts are available to Bell TV customers in the region at no additional cost, and moreover are no longer available as part of the NHL Center Ice package through other providers serving the region. Detroit Red Wings, whose market is bordered by Windsor, Ontario, is likely to be able to sell the same rights but has not done so.

As with any other sports property, broadcasting of games in US terrestrial stations conducted in Canada, such as NBC's national broadcasting network rights package as well as the Chicago Blackhawks WGN-TV broadcast, is not subject to extinction for Canadian cable/satellite customers receiving the stations.
