We told you about it recently, but there is a really major story to watch in the NHL.

It's probably the biggest story in hockey right now, as Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.

The very large and popular Bally Sports RSN is declaring bankruptcy. That includes no less than 12 (!) NHL television networks.

That's huge, and there's just been some news about that:

"Diamond Sports Holdings, which runs Bally Sports, has skipped a $140 million debt payment and will declare bankruptcy. This will affect several NHL teams and their TV contracts. It will impact the entire NHL, ultimately, and the cap will take a hit.

This is a HUGE story for NHL fans to watch."

- Blain Potvin

This would affect media in Los Angeles, Anaheim, Arizona, Dallas, St. Louis, Minnesota, Detroit, Columbus, Nashville, Carolina, Tampa Bay and Florida.
