While NHL stars are packing their bags and moving all across North America on NHL Trade Deadline Day, hockey fans can stay put with TSN all day long for the latest news and analysis with TRADECENTRE. The 10-hour TSN special event begins live at 8 a.m. ET on Wednesday, March 3 with breaking trade news and reactions to all the action from NHL Trade Deadline Day.
TSN’s TRADECENTRE has become a tradition for hockey fans. Last year, more than 1.5 million Canadians watched some part of TRADECENTRE.
