Yes, Prime Video truly seems to believe in its new project of broadcasting National Hockey League games, and yes, we might witness big changes in the coming years.
It's no coincidence that they targeted Canadian markets.
Clearly, we'll need to get used to seeing Amazon Prime playing an increasingly significant role in the world of hockey in Canada, as they will start streaming live games as soon as next month.
As reported by David Pagnotta, the first game to be broadcast by Amazon Prime will be on October 14, and it will be a matchup at the Bell Centre between the Montreal Canadiens and the Pittsburgh Penguins. It's going to be exciting!
It will be very interesting to watch this major shift that the NHL is taking.

Who knows? It could be informative for him and might even give him some ideas for the upcoming expansion processes.
