The iconic Saturday night hockey broadcast that defined Canadian living for generations has ended, sparking nostalgia, debate and a new direction for public broadcasting.

The beloved broadcast series that defined Canadian hockey for generations is concluding after its partnership with Rogers Sportsnet ended, raising questions about the future of the brand and the next chapter for the networks involved.

A nostalgic look at street hockey, the iconic Hockey Night in Canada, and the cultural imprint of the sport on a generation of fans.
After more than seven decades of bringing NHL games to Canadian households, the CBC will end its broadcast role, focusing instead on Olympic sports, while Rogers and Sportsnet take over the league’s media rights.

The broadcaster will no longer carry NHL games but will continue to use the historic Hockey Night in Canada name, a staple of Canadian sports broadcasting since 1931.
