Talk:NHL on Sportsnet

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Hi, this is Chris from Rogers. I noticed that you don’t have all the details about Home Town Hockey up to date. If you would like to provide more details to the page, here is some information:

Rogers Hometown Hockey is a cross-Canada tour visiting 25 hockey communities and celebrating Canada’s favourite pastime. Each week during the 2014/15 NHL season, the Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour will roll into a different community across the country with a weekend of free outdoor hockey festivities for all ages, culminating in an outdoor viewing party of an NHL game broadcast every Sunday, with Ron MacLean hosting live onsite from the Sportsnet Mobile Studio.

The tour will bring together a community with deep hockey roots and deliver a jam-packed weekend of interactive games, activities and entertainment for the whole family, celebrating all things hockey in the heart of each town. Each Sunday, City will air a half-hour pre-game show hosted by Ron MacLean (Rogers Hometown Hockey) live from the Sportsnet Mobile Studio, leading into an NHL game broadcast. MacLean, along with other Sportsnet personalities, will also make appearances during the intermission and post-game show.

Possible article name change

[edit]

Looking at the current promos and press releases, apparently they are promoting this entire package as "NHL on Rogers", not merely "NHL on Sportsnet".[1][2][3] This article may need to be renamed accordingly, especially when we get closer to the start of the regular season.

I saw on Connected a few weeks ago, they "previewed" a hat that showed an NHL logo with Sportsnet's logo under it. ViperSnake151  Talk  04:20, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's confirmed now; they showed off pictures of the new set, and yes, it's got that same logo everywhere. ViperSnake151  Talk  16:56, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

After seeing the coverage for the first several weeks into the season, I think the current title with "Sportsnet" is the best. They even keep the SN logo on their digital on-screen graphics during the Hometown Hockey broadcasts on City. Zzyzx11 (talk) 01:03, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not the first time, though. ViperSnake151  Talk  05:27, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Image ideas

[edit]

Here's a few

  1. The logo (obviously; that one with the SN/NHL logos) (done)
  2. Photos from one of those Hometown Hockey events? (came, saw, conquered)
  3. Photo from the studio

Of course, the last two have to be free, user-created images. ViperSnake151  Talk  01:14, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Split Hometown Hockey content

[edit]

If someone really wants to keep this list of Hometown Hockey Tour Stops, or wants to actually add the game results similar to Wednesday Night Rivalry#Results or NHL Game of the Week#Schedules or Sunday Night Hockey#Results, then this content should be split into a new Hometown Hockey page. As it stands, if Sportsnet continues to air the weekly Hometown Hockey game and concept for the rest of its current NHL TV contract, then this list would probably become longer than the rest of this article.

@162 etc.: @Zzyzx11: ... I can do the split, but I'm wondering if the new article should be "Hometown Hockey" or "Rogers Hometown Hockey". -- Mikeblas (talk) 18:17, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Me personally would prefer "Hometown Hockey" without the sponsor, Rogers, in the title. That seems to be the consistent normal convention with most TV series articles I have seen (although WP:NCTV currently is seems to be silent on this issue). But since there is news that it will be cancelled,[4][5] I don't have strong feelings either way anymore. Zzyzx11 (talk) 16:16, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"Hometown Hockey" would be my preferred title. 162 etc. (talk) 03:55, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@162 etc.: @Zzyzx11: Thanks! The split is done! -- Mikeblas (talk) 01:57, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
