TSN reporter Bob McKenzie tweeted Sunday the CBC host of "George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight" will become the face of the show when Rogers Communications Inc. takes control of Canada's NHL broadcasting rights next season.
The hiring of Stroumboulopoulos would be the first major personnel change made by Rogers after acquiring the NHL rights in a blockbuster 12-year, $5.2-billion deal in November.
McKenzie also reported the Coach's Corner segment will continue another two years.
Ron MacLean, who has hosted "Hockey Night in Canada" full time since 1987, will still be involved with a reduced role, McKenzie reported.
But he made no mention of commentator Don Cherry, who has popularized Coach's Corner since first appearing on it in 1980. The status of Cherry, 80, has been in doubt since November.
