Jeff Marek, a prominent broadcaster at Sportsnet, has parted ways with the network following allegations of leaking draft picks during the NHL Entry Draft. Reports indicate that Marek may have informed Mark Seidel, a former NHL scout, about player selections moments before they were publicly announced, raising concerns about potential insider trading. The NHL, alerted to these concerns, notified the Nevada Gaming Control Board, which is investigating the matter. While Marek has not been accused of gambling, the optics of his actions damaged the relationship between Sportsnet and the NHL, prompting the network to terminate his contract. Marek's abrupt departure came after a month-long absence from Sportsnet platforms, leading to widespread speculation among fans and media. The situation highlights the evolving dynamics of insider information in sports broadcasting and its implications for media relationships with leagues.
