How do you choose your broadcast schedule each year?
Each year we work with the NHL to do our best to ensure that viewers are able to see the games they want to see on Saturday nights. Providing coverage of the NHL’s Canadian teams is paramount for us, and we take this process very seriously. Over the past few years, we have increased coverage of Canadian teams, particularly in the west, with the second game of our weekly doubleheader.

How do you decide to distribute the games?
On nights when we have a regional game in addition to our traditional doubleheader, our goal is to make sure that the majority of Canadians get to see the game they want. We know we can’t please everyone, but we do our best.

How can I purchase a copy of a specific game?
Due to copyright laws, we are not always able to provide viewers with game tapes. However, if you would like more information on a game, please contact:
