WJC: At what point does TSN pause/pull out of their broadcasting contract with Hockey Canada and the world juniors?

The Ukraine is NOT barely news. It is still all over news channels.

We must be watching different news channels.

Ukraine fears western support will fade as media loses interest in the war

Costs and casualties are rising but Kyiv warns that the conflict with Russia is becoming normalised in people’s minds, at home and abroad

Most ppl don't give a crap tho anymore. Ppl put up flags on their windows and then that's it.

Exactly.

As I posted on another thread I don't see why today's U18 and U20 need suffer and be denied coverage because of the failures of Hockey Canada and some potential disgraceful and criminal behaviour by a small group any number of years ago.

Well said.

It’s still relevant because people like to go for drama stories. Let’s stick to hockey, as it’s the purpose of this board.

It was obviously a subjective take.

The person did say Pierre McGuire was the nicest / kindest person she ever worked with at TSN - this was years ago. She said McGuire went out of his way to make even the lowest person on the totem pole feel important / welcome.

She also said she hated working the World Juniors - it ruined her Christmas and, to her, it was work, work, work.

My buddy that works at TSN has nothing good to say about Gord Miller. He said Pierre was always nice. Same with Mclennan and Ferraro. but thats just 1 persons interaction. im sure others have their own opinions.

Sounds like everyone feels the same way.

They should continue to broadcast hockey games, what kind of a question is that?

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

Ha ha ha ha ha OP included “pull out” in the title.

 

[ORRFForever]

All the unhappy posters, plus the "sports journalist" (who finished at the bottom of their class in journalism school) who want this cancelled so they can make a name for themselves, can pound salt.

Of course they should.

Why should they stop broadcasting an event that brings joy to millions of Canadian viewers and brings hope to millions of Hockey families?

Oh, cause of those unfortunate isolated events perpetuated by some immature and stupid teenagers for which they’ll get punished for it anyways?

If I were an advertiser I wouldn't touch the WJC with a 10 foot pole. I would at least take a year off in a form of protest.

This goes beyond just the sport and advertisers though, this is an indictment on Canadian institutions at a time that trust from Canadians in them is at an all time low.

Just "another day, another scandal" is how many Canadians will view this. Eventually what will remain sacred?

Unless your a smart and rational Canadian. Then youll realize you don’t need to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Of course.

It's just a small but LOUD group of SJW who are unhappy with life and want everyone else to be unhappy, too - they want everything cancelled. If you look at the threads on the subject, it is the same 10 posters screaming over and over, again.

Re : "Unless your a smart and rational Canadian. Then youll realize you don’t need to throw the baby out with the bath water."

Amen to that.

Should we remove broadcasting of the World Juniors altogether, or just address the poor decisions and personnel choices of the people running one of the participating country's hockey's programs?

The War in Ukraine is a “drama” story?

 

[ORRFForever]

Since the World Juniors are a go, let's hope the mods lock this thread.

Please and thank you.
