The NHL final is no longer free to watch. This group wants to pass a law to change that

For the first time in decades, Canadians will miss out on watching the NHL Stanley Cup final for free on television next year due to a shift in broadcasting rights. A lobby group is advocating for legislation to ensure that such major sporting events remain accessible to the public. This move highlights broader concerns about the increasing cost and exclusivity of popular sports, emphasizing the importance of public access to cultural and entertainment events. The potential law aims to balance the interests of broadcasters and the public, sparking a debate on how to keep major sports events free for all.
