Hockey Night In Canada
If you’ve never heard of it, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Hockey Night In Canada is one of the oldest professional hockey leagues and is definitely not part of the NHL. The league was established in 1924 and is currently in its 77th season. The show is broadcasted on Thursdays from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm ET on Global, and simulcast on Hockey Night in Canada’s official Facebook page.
Hockey Time In Canada
If you’re a big fan of the Toronto Raptors, the Toronto Maple Leafs, or just love to watch sports in general, then you’re in luck because there’s a new channel available for you to enjoy! On Wednesday nights, the NHL game that was previously on CBC is now shown on a dedicated channel called Hockey Time In Canada. The channel is accessible via the Apple TV app or the Sports Pack on the Sling TV app. While not all of the games will be available after the 10:00 pm ET NHL puck drop, you’ll surely want to catch the early games if you can!
NHL Network Canada
The NHL Network Canada is a sports-oriented cable channel that’s been around since 1995 and is available on every major TV provider. While it doesn’t have the same reach as Hockey Night In Canada or the other channels mentioned so far, it’s still a worthwhile channel for hockey fans. The channel usually broadcasts games on Saturday afternoons and some on weeknights as well. The highlight of the network is Ice Hockey Is Back, a show that was inspired by the 1980s American TV show Saturday Night Live and is hosted by comedian Jim Breuer. The show bills itself as a “behind-the-scenes look at the NHL, focusing on the personalities, the plays, and the stories that make the league special.”
Sportsnet (Canada)
Along with the NHL Network, we have another Canadian channel that broadcasts hockey games. This channel is available on Bell TV, SaskTel, and other major TV providers in Canada. Sportsnet is easily one of the most popular hockey channels in North America. It regularly attracts huge audiences and is definitely worth subscribing to if you’re anywhere in Canada. While some people may think that watching sports on TV is a thing of the past, it’s actually evolved into an entire lifestyle for people in Canada. With the likes of Sportsnet, TSN, and other similar channels, Canada has one of the greatest hockey traditions in the world. It’s also one of the most competitive markets, which is great because it means more hockey!
TSN (Canada)
TSN is another one of Canada’s favorite sports channels. Its tagline is “The Sports Network” which may explain why, even though it’s a Canadian network, a lot of fans in the U.S. enjoy it as well. The channel originally started as Canada’s answer to ESPN, focusing strictly on Canadian sports. Over time, as the network evolved and grew, it began to offer more American content. It broadcasts both NHL and NBA games, as well as other sporting events. Some of TSN’s most popular programs include Trade Winds, which looks at the latest rumor surrounding a major sporting event; The Rundown, a daily morning show that airs before the puck drops on an NHL game; and Power Play, a nightly program that breaks down the previous day’s NHL action. If you’re in Canada, you should definitely have TSN as part of your TV package.
RDS (Canada)
RDS is a French-language sports channel that’s been around for more than 70 years now. It originally focused on motorcycle racing and has since evolved into more of a sports channel, airing both ice hockey and basketball games. Like Sportsnet, RDS is available on every major TV provider in Canada. If you’re in Quebec, you may want to subscribe to RDS due to its significant audience there. It is also available via the Sports Pack on the Sling TV app, as well as the MLB Game Night app.
Rue de I’Amour (Canada)
This channel is dedicated to all things hockey. It was founded in Montreal in 1996 and is usually streamed online. Its shows are mostly focused on amateur hockey, so if you’re a fan of the Montreal Canadiens, this channel is for you. Like the other channels mentioned, Rue de I’Amour usually broadcasts on weeknights and some Saturdays as well. Unfortunately, this channel is only available in certain parts of Canada, so if you’re near an area in which it is not available, there’s no harm in searching for alternatives.
Coyotes TV (Canada)
If you’re a fan of the Arizona Coyotes, check out this channel. It was launched in 2014 and is named after the team that currently plays in the NHL. The channel primarily broadcasts games from the Coyotes’ affiliated arena, the Gila River Arena, but does air select games from around the league. While the games are free to view, you will have to register with the Coyotes’ website to gain access to the rest of the content. The website’s registration is free, but if you have a pay TV subscription, you’ll need to log in with your credentials to access the channel.
Sports Plus (Puerto Rico)
Last but not least, we have Sports Plus, an esports-oriented channel that covers both competitive and professional sports. As the name would suggest, this channel focuses on sports events and programming from Puerto Rico. Even though it is a free channel, limited ads may be presented before and after some shows. If you’re in Puerto Rico and enjoy watching sports, you can find this channel on many providers, including Dish Network and Sling TV.
