From IMDb's news, today.

ESPN Gives NHL's Shutdown an Icy Reception

ESPN reacted angrily Wednesday to the decision by the National Hockey League to cancel the remainder of the season and warned that it might very well decide that it can do without hockey on its schedule. Mark Shapiro, ESPN's executive vice president for programming and production, told today's (Thursday) Chicago Tribune that the NHL's decision represented "a dangerous strategy" and a betrayal to "the true, passionate fan." Asked directly whether ESPN would resume its hockey schedule next year, Shapiro replied, "What next year? As far as we're concerned, they're on lockout. At this point, we have to make other plans."
