For the second consecutive season, fans of all Canadian NHL teams will be forced into a subscription to watch several of their teams' games on Amazon Prime.

Canadian NHL supporters are once again in opposition due to the fact that Amazon's Prime Video will still stream certain of the NHL games, but not all the games, exclusively on their site, and not on television.
The seven Canadian clubs, including the Maple Leafs, Canadiens, Canucks, Oilers, Flames, Jets, and Senators, for the second consecutive year, will see their games impacted by this occurrence.

Long-time fans used to watching all games on Sportsnet or TSN will now shell out more if they want access to all games.
This comes after Amazon purchased some Canadian national NHL broadcast rights, and Prime Video dipped its toe in with 'Monday Night Hockey' during the recent season.

Only Monday night games will be impacted next season by this

At least one exclusive game each week on Monday night will be streamed across the country again during the 2025-26 season.
Though it is not extra cash for existing Prime members (who already pay for their current service), new members will need to shell out $9.99/month (plus tax) so they can watch games.
This is an extra expense that will chip away at their monthly allowance, something that has irked plenty of die-hard sports fans who already subscribe to several other sporting channels.
The entire NHL TV lineup hasn't been released yet, but fans can expect all the remaining national and regional contests to still be airing on Sportsnet or TSN.
But this shift towards streaming-only viewing is increasingly becoming a nuisance for hardcore fans who were used to accessing all the games on cable.
For Canadian hockey fans, paying extra money just to keep up with the teams they love is quickly becoming a sour new norm.
