-- The NHL is close to signing a $7.7 billion deal with Rogers Communications that would renew the company's television rights for league games aired nationally in Canada by 12 more years, Sportico reported, citing multiple people familiar with the details.
-- The new 12-year deal is more than double the value of the league's current agreement with Rogers, which it signed in 2013 for about $4.9 billion at the time, the report said.
-- The deal, which has been recommended for approval by the league's media and executive committees, will begin in the 2026-27 season, according to the report. A vote is expected in the coming days, it said, meaning an announcement could come as early as this week.
