TORONTO - George Stroumboulopoulos will reportedly be the next host of "Hockey Night in Canada."
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.
Stroumboulopoulos, who was a presenter at the Canadian Screen Awards on Sunday, was not made available for comment. A spokesperson for Rogers' Sportsnet also declined to comment.
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.
