The league needs to make money somehow this year...not surprised by it.
I just care about the hockey, as long as that product is good then I'm fine.

You want hockey or not? I can get behind it on a temporary basis.

Ugh, I realize the NHL has to make up the revenue somewhere... but this is genie that’s never going back into the bottle.

I don't see these things as being temporary. I don't like it, but money is king.

Totally understandable given the current financial environment of the league. Honestly, doesn't bother me.

Yup, seems to be a disconnect between people who dont like it knowing it isnt going away, and people thinking this is a one time only thing.

I doubt anyone will refer to the divisions by their new names as the season goes on. It will just be North, Central, etc.
Well, except Derek Wills. "Get ready for a Scotiabank North division matchup tonight at the Scotiabank Saddledome."

not surprised, but still gross. We're kind of used to that stuff in Europe sadly, many leagues and teams have sponsors even in the name. Let's hope it doesn't stick, but I fear this is just the start and NHL jerseys will serve as billboards in a few years.

Terrible. Just add the ugly ads all over the jerseys and be done with it. I'd prefer that to this. We're making CFB Bowl game naming look streamlined
Well everyone, welcome to another great night of hockey with the Scotiabank Stanley Cup Conference Finals brought to you by Rocket Mortgage - between the MassMutual East Conference Champions, the New York Islanders brought to you by the New York Port Authority, and the Scotiabank North Conference champions, the Scotiabank Calgary Flames, live from the beautiful Scotiabank Saddledome.

5 years from now it's going to be player names.

I could see this as a one off for the year as they change the divisions back to normal next year.. Maybe.
Doesn't bother me either way.

When do we see the Mastercard Norris Trophy for best defenseman? Or how about the Tim Horton's Stanley cup?

All the money lost this year doesn't magically re-appear next year when things are back to normal. Need to recoup it over a number of years.
This is permanent.
