Sports USA signs an agreement with the National Hockey League (NHL) to be the League's exclusive live national radio play-by-play partner through the 2024-2025 season. The broadcasts will include select regular season games and continue through the Stanley Cup Final each year.

The network, which began broadcasting NHL games last season, starts its 2021-22 regular season coverage when the Seattle Kraken play their inaugural game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, October 12.

"We look forward to building on the success we had during our coverage of the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season and are thrilled to expand upon this partnership," said Sports USA founder and CEO Larry Kahn. "The NHL has a loyal and passionate fan base and we couldn't be more excited about the next four years."

In addition to terrestrial radio, the live broadcasts will also be distributed digitally via Tune-In, SiriusXM and other NHL digital partners, as well as SportsUSAMedia.com.

The company's connection to the NHL began last February with its coverage of the 2021 NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe, featuring two regular-season outdoor games played at Edgewood Tahoe Resort in Stateline, NV and continued through the 2021 Stanley Cup Semifinals and Stanley Cup Final.
