Waterloo, On. – The CPHL announced the completion of comprehensive broadcast agreement that will benefit the league and its fans for the next two years. Under the new two year agreement CPHL games will be broadcast on the Spike TV network beginning in September 2006.
"CPHL's new network agreement marks a historic moment for the entire Fantasy community," said CPHL Chairman and CEO Dayel Peterson. "This is a major accomplishment for the CPHL GMs, agents and the Commissioners that have made this sport what it is today. It represents a significant reward for the competitive fantasy hockey world our fans have come to expect. It also validates the marketing and production enhancements our current media partners have brought to the sport.
"The new broadcast partnership is also good for the fans because they will have so much more CPHL content from a player’s perspective," said Peterson.
The CPHL expands its relationship with CalgaryPuck, while welcoming Spike into the family," said CPHL Vice President of Operations Cameron Schuler the 2nd. "By signing deals with a media company that sees itself as a Mans domain, the CPHL will meet the growing nationwide fan demand for more CPHL content for the next two years," Schuler said.
"Spike is extremely excited to begin its relationship with the CPHL for the next two years, and come 2008 be known as the official television home of Fantasy Hockey, by far the most played online game in this country," said Spike TVs President Doug Herzog. "Our production team has done an amazing job over the last few years to put Spike TVs broadcasts on par with America's most popular channels, and we look forward to pushing the production envelope further as we move forward."
The deal between the Spike TV network and the CPHL is a two year package which will run between the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 seasons.
The financial breakdown is as follows:
Total financial value: $640,000,000 over 2 years or $10,000,000 per team per year. $1,000,000 of the fee per team will be allotted to the Farm Teams. Each CPHL team will have a salary cap of $58,000,000 plus the $9,000,000 TV allotment for a total of $67,000,000 for the next two years.

Looks as if it expires in 2008 and not 2007. Which means next summer will be complete madness just like this one.
