Broadcasting[]
Leafs TV, as the main broadcaster of the Toronto Marlies, will air the Calder Cup Final in Canada. While the channel is normally restricted to the home market of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Leafs TV has allowed television providers outside of the Leafs' market to carry the channel during the Calder Cup to allow nationwide coverage of the games. In the United States, CBS Sports Network picked up the broadcast rights in the United States beginning with game 3, simulcasting the Leafs TV feed. Additionally in Canada, Sportsnet One will also join Leafs TV to air games 4-6 of the series. The series will also be carried on ESPN America, and on the NHL Home Ice channel on Sirius XM.
