Sportsnet has decided to let go of yet another top reporter right after the Jeff Marek scandal

Simpson, who began her career in 1998, was a fan favorite on Hockey Night in Canada, known for her insightful and memorable interviews with some of the NHL's biggest stars.

Her announcement has sparked widespread speculation, with some wondering whether Simpson is moving on to a new opportunity or if she was let go by the network. This follows the news of Marek's firing, reportedly tied to allegations that he leaked information regarding players in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. Since then, Marek has been looking for new opportunities, while Kyle Bukauskas has been tapped to fill his role on the 32 Thoughts podcast alongside Elliotte Friedman.

Christine Simpson's departure adds to the growing list of prominent exits at Sportsnet, with some questioning whether Ron MacLean could be next, as his contract nears its end. Fans and colleagues have taken to social media to express their well-wishes for Simpson, whose contributions to hockey broadcasting have left an indelible mark on the sport. Her future endeavours remain eagerly anticipated.
