Every NHL game. Hockey Night every Saturday. The World Juniors over the holidays.
All 7 Canadian teams. Centre Ice included — no $200 a year add-on. Stanley Cup playoffs in 4K. Spengler Cup. Hlinka Gretzky. Coach's-Corner-style Saturday-night doubleheaders. From $39 CAD. No 2-year contract. No regional blackouts.
How much do Bell or Rogers actually charge a Canadian to watch every NHL game?
Bell Fibe TV's "Better TV" package starts at $94.95/month on a 2-year contract — and that's before the Sports add-on. To get Sportsnet, Sportsnet ONE, TSN1–5 and the regional feeds, you need the Premium pack ($30/mo extra). NHL Centre Ice (out-of-market games) is another $200/year. Add a Bell PVR rental at $20/mo and the Better Internet 1.5 Gbps everyone "needs" for streaming, and you're at $170+/month — over $2,000 a year just to watch hockey. Rogers Ignite Premier with the sports tier is similar. IPTV Americans gives you every NHL game including all of Centre Ice for $90–270 CAD a year depending on how many devices stream at the same time. No 2-year contract. No PVR rental. No "promo rate that doubles in month 13."

Everything a Canadian hockey fan asks for
Built for the way we actually watch the game up here.
Hockey Night in Canada — every Saturday at 7pm
The Saturday-night doubleheader is sacred. Sportsnet broadcasts live, intermission analysis included, both early and late games. Plus the post-season After Hours show. Same broadcast you'd get on Bell, just not paying $170/month for the privilege.
NHL Centre Ice — included, not a $200/yr add-on
Bell Fibe and Rogers both charge $199.95/year for Centre Ice on top of your sports tier. With us, every out-of-market game — every team, every night — is part of the regular subscription. A Habs fan in Vancouver gets every Habs game. A Flames fan in Halifax gets every Flames game.
The World Juniors — Boxing Day to January 5
Every World Junior Championship game on TSN, every game-day, including the gold-medal final. The holiday tradition millions of Canadians plan their Christmas-week schedule around. Plus the under-18 Worlds, the Spengler Cup and the Hlinka Gretzky for year-round junior coverage.
Stanley Cup playoffs in 4K
Sportsnet UHD broadcasts most playoff games in true 4K HDR. CBC simulcasts the Final. Every series, every overtime, every Game 7 — in the picture quality the broadcasters actually produce. Bell's PVR caps your simultaneous recordings at four; we don't.
Hockey Night Punjabi-Edition + RDS in French
The Saturday-night Punjabi-language Hockey Night broadcast, plus full RDS French coverage of Canadiens games for Quebec and francophone households across the country, where licensed. Multilingual hockey for a multilingual country.
No 2-year contract. Cancel any Saturday.
Bell and Rogers tie you into 24-month contracts with cancellation fees that run $300+. We sell you the months you want — three, six, or twelve. No retention call when you try to leave. Just a one-click cancel from the dashboard.

Three Canadian households that switched
Real reasons real Canadians cut the Bell or Rogers cord this season.
The Habs fan who moved to Calgary
Sportsnet's regional rules used to lock him into Sportsnet West — which never carries Canadiens road games against Western teams in their entirety. He was paying Rogers $145/mo and still missing half his team's season. With IPTV Americans he gets Sportsnet East and RDS in French, so every Habs game, every period, every shift.
The Saturday-night family in Mississauga
Hockey Night in Canada on the main TV. Mom watches the Leafs while dad has the Pittsburgh game on the laptop because his fantasy team needs Crosby points. The kids stream the World Juniors highlights on a tablet over the holidays. Bell wanted $1,800/year for the same setup, with a 2-year contract.
The expat from Edmonton living in Toronto
Sportsnet Ontario doesn't show every Oilers game — local-Leafs broadcasts override on most Saturdays. With Centre Ice on top of Bell Fibe she'd be at $200+/month. Now she gets every McDavid shift, plus Sportsnet West for the regional feed, for $190 CAD a year.

From Canadian hockey fans who switched
[CLIENT VERIFY: replace with verified review-platform quotes from Canadian subscribers at launch.]
"Was paying Bell Fibe $165 a month plus the $200 Centre Ice add-on. Cancelled the day after a stupid promo-rate hike letter showed up. Got every Leafs game, every Bruins game, the World Juniors and 4K Cup playoffs for $190 the whole year. Wish I'd done it sooner, eh."
"RDS pour les Canadiens, Sportsnet East pour les autres parties — toutes les langues, tous les matches. Rogers refusait de me donner les deux feeds sans payer 200 $ de plus par mois. Là je paie 190 $ par année."
"I'm a Flames fan in Vancouver. Sportsnet's regional blackouts used to drive me mental — half the season I'd watch the score update on my phone instead of the actual game. Now I get Sportsnet West directly. Best $190 I've ever spent."
Honest answers to the questions every Canadian asks before they cut
Will I really get every Canadian team's games — including from outside my province?
Yes. All four regional Sportsnet feeds (Ontario, East, West, Pacific) plus the Sportsnet ONE national overflow channel, plus TSN1 through TSN5 regional feeds, plus RDS in French. So a Habs fan in Calgary gets Sportsnet East. A Flames fan in Halifax gets Sportsnet West. The regional-blackout problem that drives Canadians up the wall on Bell and Rogers — gone.
Is Hockey Night in Canada really included every Saturday at 7pm?
Yes — the Sportsnet Saturday-night doubleheader streams live every week of the regular season. Both early (7pm ET) and late (10pm ET) games. Plus the After Hours intermission show. Pre-game and post-game coverage included. Same broadcast Bell and Rogers carry — just without their bill.
Can I watch the World Juniors live over the holidays?
Yes. Every World Junior Championship game streams live on TSN from the Boxing Day kickoff through the January 5 gold-medal final. Pre-game and post-game shows included. So is the Spengler Cup, the Hlinka Gretzky Cup and the under-18 World Championship for full junior-hockey coverage.
Are Stanley Cup playoffs in 4K?
Yes. Most playoff games stream in true 4K HDR on Sportsnet UHD where the broadcaster produces a 4K feed. Cup Final on CBC and Sportsnet simulcasts. You need a 4K-capable device (Fire TV Stick 4K Max, Apple TV 4K, Shield TV) and 50 Mbps+ internet — most Canadian fibre packages easily meet this.
What about NHL Centre Ice — is it really included?
Yes. The full NHL Centre Ice out-of-market package — every team, every night, when not on a regional feed — is included with your subscription. Bell and Rogers both charge $199.95/year extra for this; with us it's part of the regular plan. No add-on, no upsell.
Can I get the Canadiens broadcast in French?
Yes. RDS (Réseau des Sports) carries every Canadiens game in French. Sportsnet East simulcasts in English. Both feeds are included. French support is also available for Quebec subscribers — call or email and you'll get service in French.
Does it work on Firestick / Apple TV / Roku in Canada?
Yes. Native apps in the Canadian Amazon Appstore, Apple App Store, Roku Channel Store and Google Play. Setup takes about 4 minutes. See our Canadian Firestick setup guide for step-by-step photos.
What internet speed do I need?
25 Mbps for HD on a single screen. 50 Mbps for 4K. 100 Mbps if you're running three streams at once during Saturday-night doubleheaders. Most Canadian fibre packages — Bell Fibe Better Internet, Rogers Ignite, Telus PureFibre, even Sasktel infiNET — easily clear that bar.
Is this legal in Canada? What about CRTC enforcement?
Subscribing to and watching streaming TV is lawful under the Canadian Copyright Act. CRTC enforcement targets unlicensed providers — what matters is whether the service licenses its channels. We apply a 5-point CRTC compliance test before we work with any upstream provider. Read the full criteria on our Canadian legality page. We don't carry pirated streams and won't sell you access to one.
What's the refund policy in Quebec under the Consumer Protection Act?
Quebec subscribers retain full Consumer Protection Act rights, including statutory cooling-off periods and protection against unfair contract terms. Our 7-day refund window meets or exceeds CPA requirements. Bilingual (French/English) support is available for Quebec customers.
What if a stream goes down during a playoff overtime?
24/7 live chat support. We carry redundant feeds for every Canadian regional broadcast — if the primary Sportsnet West feed has an issue during a Game 7 overtime, the backup feed kicks in within seconds. We do this because we know what overtime hockey means up here.
Can I cancel any time, or am I in for 24 months like Bell?
No 24-month contract. Buy three, six, or twelve months — that's it. One-click cancel from your dashboard. No retention agent trying to talk you out of it. Within seven days you get a full refund; after that the subscription continues for the months you've paid for and simply doesn't renew. The way it should work.
Stop paying Bell or Rogers. Watch every NHL game for $190 CAD a year.
All 7 Canadian teams. Every regional Sportsnet feed. NHL Centre Ice included. Hockey Night in Canada every Saturday. World Juniors over the holidays. Cup playoffs in 4K. No 24-month contract.
