This summer the NHL was shocked when NHL broadcast partner Bally Sports announced they were filing for bankruptcy. They filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy after their owner revealed they are over $8 billion in debt.
This announcement left the NHL in a difficult position because they needed Bally to broadcast games they were under contract to do so. This led the NHL to need to find a way to hold Bally to their agreement until they can make other arrangements.
Today the NHL announced they had agreed with Bally to keep games broadcast until the NHL can find a new home for the teams under Bally's umbrella.
