NBCSN has the NHL contract, I think. They're also going to have English Premiere League soccer starting next month. Looking like a serious budding competitor to ESPN, who shows popular sports like MLB, NFL, and NBA, but have no more exclusives.
“Will Fox Sports 1 cover hockey?

The new network has already indicated it would make a big push into lacrosse.
Given it’s tie-in with Fox you could look for the channel to be another outlet for football broadcasts - maybe be able to show more than one game in a time slot on Sunday. Probably also looking at NASCAR for increased coverage. With all of the regional Fox Sports channels around the country you could see them featuring a game of the week type format of a college game that wouldn’t be available to many markets.
They’re exclusives but boring.
