The Sheet, which is available on DailyFaceoff.com, the Daily Faceoff YouTube channel, and all major podcast platforms (Spotify; Apple Podcasts), is the home for the modern generation of hockey fans. Combining video-podcasts, editorial content, social media channels, and influencer networks, fans will be connected to the biggest storylines in hockey; past, present, and future. The Sheet will dive into the latest news, top stories, rumors, emerging players, trends, and game insights across all tiers of hockey – including the NHL, PWHL, IIHF, and junior hockey – offering a comprehensive view of the sport.
Airing every weekday at 3pm ET, The Sheet will feature a dynamic mix of guest hosts and regular appearances from other Nation Network personalities and figures across hockey. Regular guest hosts include ESPN Senior NHL Writer Greg Wyshynski, current PWHL player and Olympic Gold Medalist Erin Ambrose, 20-year NHL executive and PWHL Players’ Association Executive Director Brian Burke, and Emmy Award-winning NHL broadcaster Pierre McGuire. Jeff has already interviewed Dan MacKenzie, President of the CHL, and Katherine Henderson, President of Hockey Canada, ahead of the show’s full release. These “On The Sheet” sit-down interviews are available now on podcast platforms and the Daily Faceoff YouTube channel.
In addition to his work on the show, Marek will be contributing weekly editorial content to Daily Faceoff, delivering even more content to fans and subscribers as well as participating in weekly hits across TNN’s regional shows. Marek’s addition to Daily Faceoff and The Nation Network is a significant move that further evolves its programming, while aligning with the network’s ongoing commitment to expanding its content offerings for hockey fans. Through its breadth of content, The Sheet promises to be an essential addition to every hockey fan’s daily lineup. TNN works with premier talent and production teams, making it a leading destination for authentic sports coverage for communities of fans across Canada.
“From the moment I spoke with The Nation Network, I knew this is where I wanted my next step to be,” said Jeff Marek, host of The Sheet. “The team is full of hockey diehards like myself and TNN has emerged as a growing force in the hockey media industry. My new show, The Sheet, is going to bring a familiar style to my previous work, but will be even deeper with the additional content we have planned, as well as our stellar cast of recurring guest hosts and star appearances. I can’t wait to get further ingrained in the TNN family and help add to the best stop for hockey content anywhere.”
“The Nation Network is a community of fans and adding Jeff Marek showcases both how far we’ve come and serves as a testament to our team’s hard work,” said Jay Downton, Founder and CEO of The Nation Network. “From TNN’s inception in 2007 to where we are today, we have grown to engage passionate fans nationwide across our 11 web properties that generate 250M+ annual pageviews, 40 video-podcasts with 5M monthly streams, and approximately 70 social media channels that provoke 8M monthly social engagements. With over 20 years of experience in hockey media, Jeff will be an incredible addition to our team for both his content and his ability and eagerness to help lead our existing roster of personalities. We’re already producing more than 65 hours of live hockey coverage weekly and we’re confident that Jeff’s new show will resonate deeply with the entire men’s and women’s hockey community.”
