## Resource

Calgary Flames games are officially leaving CBC for the 2026-27 NHL season, ending a 46-year tradition of free Saturday night hockey broadcasts on the public broadcaster. This shift follows Sportsnet’s decision not to renew its sub-contract with CBC, as the network now holds full national rights and prioritizes its own programming strategy focused on events like the Olympics. With CBC Gem’s free game streams also shutting down, fans face a major change in how they access the sport — marking the end of an era where hockey was widely available without a subscription.
