After months of speculation, Trade Bait lists, and in-depth team analysis, NHL Trade Deadline Day is almost here. Breaking down every deal throughout the day is TSN’s industry-leading team of Hockey Insiders and experts during TRADECENTRE (#TradeCentre) – the network’s signature, 10-hour live broadcast event on Monday, Feb. 26 beginning at 8 a.m. ET on TSN. Extensive coverage will also feature prominently on TSN.ca, TSN Radio’s eight stations across Canada and on TSN’s social media platforms (see below for a complete list of accounts).

TSN was the first broadcaster to deliver comprehensive, full-day coverage of NHL Trade Deadline Day, beginning in 2000 and is consistently chosen by Canadians as their #1 choice for hockey news and analysis. Last year’s TRADECENTRE attracted a total of 1.7 million Canadian viewers, representing an audience more than doublethat of its closest competitor.

Led by host James Duthie, TSN’s wall-to-wall TRADECENTRE coverage includes a high-profile and respected team of Insiders, analysts, former NHL players, coaches, general managers, reporters, and correspondents including:

With breaking news and instant analysis of every transaction, as well as interviews with players, GMs, and coaches, TRADECENTRE also features frequent updates from SPORTSCENTRE’s Bureau Reporters, who are onsite with nine different teams, including every Canadian franchise. This in-depth coverage is mixed with special guests and a full slate of entertaining surprises, as well as the live reveal of the 2018 Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup winning team.

“We pride ourselves on being informative, but also have plenty of fun,” said James Duthie, TSN hockey host. “We like to show off the hidden talents of our crew, whether it’s their musical ability, acting, or even llama wrangling. It’s a very strange, and kind of awesome, unofficial Canadian holiday.”

“I’ve been privileged to be part of our TradeCentre coverage for the last 18 years and work with our incredibly talented group of reporters and analysts,” said Bob McKenzie, TSN Hockey Insider. “Along with the customary in-depth analysis and spontaneous moments, I’m also looking forward to unveiling our 2018 Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup winner live during the broadcast.”
