Looks like Amazon Prime Video is going to be your Wednesday night hockey hookup for the next 12 years.

Article content

In a deal with Rogers, the streaming service announced Tuesday that it has secured exclusive rights to Wednesday night NHL games, two playoff series in the first round and another second-round playoff series. Prime will air the games at no extra cost to those Canadians who hold a Prime membership, while Sportsnet keeps the rights to the majority of Canadian NHL games.

“Our partnership with Prime Video builds on the strong foundation we have established together and reinforces NHL hockey as the most valuable sports content in Canada,” Rogers president and CEO Tony Staffieri said in a joint statement with Amazon.

“We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with the NHL and Rogers in this landmark agreement, which brings even more premium live sports to Prime members in Canada,” head of Prime Video global sports Jay Marine said in another statement.

Which Leaf games?

The partnership aims to air at least 26 regular-season NHL games, which gives the Toronto Maple Leafs nine potential broadcasts next season. The first could air on Sept. 30, when the Leafs play the New York Islanders. The next time the Leafs play on a Wednesday is Oct. 28 against the Seattle Kraken.

NHL not free to watch anymore

The deal comes after an announcement last month that Rogers and the CBC wouldn’t renew their agreement, ending Hockey Night in Canada after last season. City-TV won’t carry anymore games either, effectively ending NHL on free-to-air TV.
