2013 Maple Leafs TV Schedule
James van Riemsdyk was the Leafs major addition in the offseson. He will make his home debut January 21 on Sportsnet Ontario.
Sportsnet Ontario released its 2013 Maple Leafs broadcast schedule today. Sportsnet is slated to show 14 Leafs games in Ontario. CBC and TSN will combine to show 24. That leaves 10 Leafs games unaccounted for. It is still unknown whether those will air on Leafs TV, or possibly Sportsnet and/or TSN (or some combination). The latter is a possibility though. What happens with those other ten Leafs games is probably the most interesting aspect of this season’s TV schedules.
Joe Bowen and Greg Millen return to the broadcast booth on both networks, with Paul Hendrick reporting rinkside. Sportsnet will also have 30 minute pregame shows with Hockey Central.
Here is the complete broadcast schedule. All times are Eastern.

That is surprising that there are ten games still unaccounted for. The 14 games on Sportsnet equals the amount of games on HNIC plus ten on TSN equals 38 games. I wonder if there is a Sportsnet Leafs channel being created? Just kidding.

The ten games are most likely unaccounted for because MLSE hasn’t decided whether they are going to keep showing live games on Leafs TV, or if they will put them on TSN and/or Sportsnet. I’m told it is “still up in the air”

Well I’m glad 24 games I can view on tsn or CBC which is nice because I don’t live in Ontario to see the sportsnet games. But wonder what they will do with the 10 other games, did they completely drop leafs TV or kinda weird there still deciding if they will or not but interesting. Glad there’s some games I can watch here in Manitoba.
