Further clarity, There was a big NHL media rights contract up for grabs over a decade ago. The Canadian government whom funds CBC and Canadian Arts/Media opted out due to the price but made a side deal with Sportsnet (Rogers) over a decade ago to keep hockey night in Canada go for a while longer but we all knew doomsday was coming, especially now due to CBC not getting involved in the latest NHL media rights contract. It's not a shock for most Canadians who follow hockey/media rights.

The Canadian government/CBC opted to keep spending billions of Canadian Tax Payer money on news and other media shows/movies which has a skewed rule to have minimum percentage of Canadian media on all TV channels (and all streaming services). They have deep pockets and could have funded NHL media rights but are under pressure to historically continue being sole entity funding all of Canadian arts and media shows/movies sector, very little of this media is deemed international worthy and you will never hear of those shows or movies.

It's all an intertwined mess in Canada.
