Current broadcast teams

Prior to the 2014–15 season, Hockey Night in Canada was split regionally on various CBC stations. As of the 2024–25 season, it is now split with CBC, Citytv, and selected Sportsnet channels. Before Sportsnet acquired national NHL broadcast rights, CBC used to have fixed broadcast teams. After Sportsnet acquired the rights to the NHL and Hockey Night, the quantity of nationally televised games has increased and there are no fixed broadcast teams. Sportsnet has mixed in its own broadcasters with some of the original crew and they all shuffle weekly for which Canadian market team they do play-by-play and colour commentary they do.
