Canada Hockey Game Broadcast Guide Hockey games involving Canadian teams or national squads air on several major channels depending on the league and matchup. Common broadcasters include TSN, Sportsnet, CBC, RDS, and Citytv, with specifics varying by region and event.

NHL Games (Most Common "Canada Hockey")

Canada's NHL teams like the Maple Leafs, Canadiens, and Canucks dominate searches for "Canada hockey game." National broadcasts rotate weekly:

League/Team Focus| English Channels| French Channels| Providers (Bell TV Example) 1
---|---|---|---
National NHL (e.g., HNIC Saturdays)| CBC (1040/1050), Citytv (1053/1204), Sportsnet (1405-1410), Prime Video (Mondays)| TVA Sports (1883-1884/1111-1112), RDS (1880-1881/1108-1109)| Satellite/Fibe
Toronto Maple Leafs| TSN (1403), Sportsnet (1405)| RDS (regional)| Regional blackouts apply
Montréal Canadiens| TSN (1401), CBC| RDS, TVA Sports| French-heavy in Quebec
Vancouver Canucks/Edmonton Oilers| Sportsnet (1407/1408)| TVA Sports| West Canada focus

Quick Tip: Check your cable/sat provider (e.g., Bell, Videotron) for exact numbers—TSN 1400-1404 covers many. Streaming via TSN+ or Sportsnet+ often mirrors TV.

Hockey Canada Events (National/International)

For Team Canada (World Juniors, IIHF), official partners are TSN (English) and RDS (French), plus HNLive streams for 100+ games.

  • Medal games: TSN/RDS TV.

    Recent example: USA vs. Canada (4 Nations, Feb 2025) was ESPN/fubo in US, but Canadians used TSN/Sportsnet.
