  NHL Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NHL Network is a Canadian category 2 digital cable television channel devoted to hockey from the past and the present.
Its main focus is on the National Hockey League and their games, but it also airs games from other leagues, such as minor league and international hockey as well to fill its schedule.
As a result of the agreement between the NHL and the Outdoor Life Network (or OLN, which is owned by Comcast) in the USA, the network should be available in the United States beginning with the 2005-06 NHL season, according to AOL news[1].

 The Sports Gaming Network - Hockey : NHL 2002 (Xbox) Review
NHL 2002 is a game that will play the way you want it to.
Yet NHL 2002 also can be approached from a sim viewpoint.
The graphics (though EA definitely needs to work on better camera angles in future releases) and sound provide a nice hockey atmosphere, but the key to the game is the balance of arcade and sim elements of the gameplay.

But after yesterday's announcement of a deal that landed OLN the NHL's national broadcast rights for the next two seasons, the network could become just as well known for the yellow third jersey of the Bruins.
Each NHL club will receive 1/30th of the TV revenue, but Sinden said national exposure was more important than any share the teams will claim.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in 2006-07, the NHL will not schedule games on Mondays and Tuesdays other than those on OLN, making the channel the primary destination for hockey fans.

 The Sports Gaming Network - Hockey : NHL 2000 (PSX) Review
The menu music is upbeat and a little less daunting than that played on NHL 99, although I suspect that it, too, may become a bit wearing over time.
In NHL 98, players moved quickly, but they were out of control; games reduced themselves to alternating end-to-end dashes, with speed burst answering speed burst.
NHL 2000 is an impressive game and a fitting inaugural step into the new season.

The NHL is leaving ESPN for OLN -- formerly the Outdoor Life Network -- after completing a two-year deal with Comcast Corp. to be its new cable TV partner.
Even though the NHL and Comcast were busy Thursday touting their plan to "supercharge" what they promise will be an improved NHL product, the truth is it's a marriage of necessity, in many respects.
Anywhere from 60-80 NHL games will be televised nationally by OLN on Monday and Tuesday nights during the regular season, beginning with the Oct. 5 season opener that features the New York Rangers at the Philadelphia Flyers.

 NHL Improves Standing With New OLN Deal
The National Hockey League came out better in its new TV rights deal with Outdoor Life Network and Comcast than most observers thought it would, gleaning more money than it was guaranteed under its previous agreement, and gaining a commitment for cable carriage of a new NHL Network.
The NHL is guaranteed $65 million for the first year of the deal, $70 million for the second year, and there is a third option year, which, if both parties agree to exercise it, will give the NHL another $72.5 million.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said he is not concerned that OLN reaches only 64 million households, compared to the 90 million households reached by both ESPN and ESPN2.

 Is the soured NHL/media relationship sweetening?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Comcast dropped the puck this week with its two-year, $100-million offer to televise the NHL on its Outdoor Life Network, which is the kind of found humor Gary Bettman's league seems to pride itself in.
Earlier this week, the network, which declined an option to televise NHL games on ESPN2 for $60 million this season, issued a statement, saying: "We have a matching right and remain interested in continuing our relationship with the NHL, as long as the deal is commensurate with the value of the rights being offered."
Keeping the NHL makes economic as well as promotional sense for ESPN, which has had a virtual monopoly in the national cable sports market ever since it squashed Fox's challenge.
