## Resource

After 74 years, the CBC is officially stepping away from NHL broadcasts, marking the end of an era for Hockey Night in Canada and a generation of Canadian hockey fans. With Sportsnet now holding the rights, the CBC pivots to Olympic sports on Saturdays — a quieter, more niche vibe than the roaring hockey crowds of old. For many, those CBC games were more than just sports; they were national rituals, shared memories, and a cornerstone of Canadian identity. While NHL games remain accessible elsewhere, the loss of free, nationwide CBC broadcasts raises concerns about hockey’s future reach — especially as fans now face the reality of needing multiple subscriptions to stay connected. The CBC’s departure leaves a void, and for longtime fans, it’s a bittersweet goodbye to the voice that called the goals for decades.
