The Canadiens announce that Habs games will now be broadcast on Amazon Prime Video

Habs games officially broadcast on Prime Video
Let's recall that the NHL recently announced a historic change in how hockey games are watched, and it involves the Montreal Canadiens.
Amazon, Rogers Communications, and the National Hockey League have signed a two-year contract, here in Canada, to broadcast games on Prime Video.
It's an exclusive contract, but only on the English side, so the games in question will still be broadcast on RDS, as we understand it.
Here is the official statement from Amazon on the subject:
- Magda Grace, Head of Prime Video for Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
It will be really interesting to see how all this plays out in practice.
Full details and schedule:
Will you be watching the Montreal Canadiens games on Amazon Prime Video?
It's certainly a big change, but we'll have to get used to it.
