SiriusXM (NASDAQ: SIRI), SiriusXM Canada (TSX: XSR) and the National Hockey League (NHL) today announced they have extended a multi-year agreement to offer SiriusXM subscribers across North America live game broadcasts through the 2021-22 NHL season, and together will provide even more hockey coverage accessible to more subscribers than ever before.

“Our long-standing partnership with SiriusXM has always been focused on making the game accessible to fans,” said John Collins, NHL Chief Operating Officer. “Our expanded partnership will ensure we can continue to deliver fans across North America more programming and more games – from pre-season puck drop to the final buzzer – for years to come.”
“NHL fans have extraordinary passion for the game and their teams. We are very pleased to renew and expand on our relationship with the League to continue providing those fans with a level of coverage that matches their passion,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer. “Nobody provides more live NHL audio content – including games and in-depth talk – than SiriusXM, and now more of our subscribers will have access to that programming than ever before.”
“We look forward to working with the NHL to bring our listeners across North America the ultimate hockey experience through our coverage,” said Mark Redmond, President and CEO, Sirius XM Canada. “We are excited that the NHL will now be co-producing SiriusXM NHL Radio with us, which will result in even better programming than what our listeners have grown to love. The exclusive NHL content, along with easy access to full-time NHL coverage and live game play-by-play, is an offering that hockey fans can’t get anywhere else.”
