News Summary:

On September 4, 2026, the Ottawa Senators announced a partnership with Asmodee and CATAN Studio to bring the globally beloved CATAN board game to Canadian Tire Centre, citing a shared belief in bringing people together through great experiences. Earlier the same day, historical context emerged regarding Seattle's long-standing pursuit of a professional hockey team, noting that a half-century before the Seattle Kraken joined the NHL, the city had been promised an NHL expansion, an existing team transfer, or a World Hockey Association team, none of which came to fruition at the time. Previously, on September 3, Houston Mayor John Whitmire revealed that his office is engaged with local stakeholders to bring a second NHL team to Texas, signaling potential league expansion. Also on September 3, the National Hockey League and Amazon Prime Video expanded their broadcasting partnership, adding six new regional markets for in-market streaming rights. This move, following the collapse of FanDuel Sports Network earlier this year and the shuttering of the Victory+ streaming service, will require some fanbases to navigate new subscription costs, while others will see benefits.
