The NHL is following the trend of other professional leagues by partnering with a major streaming player.
The NHL, Rogers Communication, and Amazon have struck a major deal to broadcast all games scheduled for Monday nights on the Amazon Prime platform.
Prime Monday Night Hockey will exclusively air the games scheduled in Canada on the first day of the week.
This represents a significant shift and is just the beginning of the transition from traditional television to streaming platforms.
Here is the announcement on Amazon's website:
The partnership between Rogers and the NHL has been incredibly successful and is a key part of Sportsnet's leadership as Canada's number one sports media brand.
