Elliotte Friedman, Kevin Bieksa’s Sportsnet future unclear amid Amazon NHL push
Friedman and Bieksa are still said not to have finalised Sportsnet contracts, leading to speculation about their next broadcasting gig. Amazon Prime Video has been touted as a potential landing spot, but no parting or new deal has been announced.
Elliotte Friedman and Kevin Bieksa's futures with Sportsnet remain uncertain as they have not signed contracts for the 2026-27 NHL season. Amazon Prime Video, in its efforts to strengthen its Canadian NHL coverage, has emerged as a potential alternative. While no final decisions have been made, the streaming service's long-term deal encompasses Wednesday Nite Hockey and select playoff series in Canada.
If either broadcaster signs with Amazon, it could significantly alter Sportsnet's NHL presentation and offer both analysts the chance to join the growing streaming platform.
