Sportsnet dismisses another top broadcaster following the Jeff Marek firing

Simpson, a well-known figure in hockey media since her debut in 1998, recently announced she was no longer with the network, leaving many fans and colleagues shocked.

Simpson became a staple of 'Hockey Night in Canada,' known for her insightful interviews with NHL stars, offering fans a deeper look at players beyond the rink. Her departure is a big loss for the network, which has seen several changes recently.

Earlier this summer, Sportsnet also parted ways with Jeff Marek following controversy, with Kyle Bukauskas now filling his role on the '32 Thoughts' podcast alongside Elliotte Friedman. With these departures, fans are questioning the future of Sportsnet's hockey coverage.

There's also ongoing speculation about the future of long-time 'Hockey Night in Canada' host Ron MacLean, who, despite having two years left on his contract, seems to be at the center of discussions about Sportsnet's future direction.

Fans are now left wondering what's next for Simpson. With her reputation and experience, it's unlikely she'll stay out of the spotlight for long. Many are eagerly awaiting news on her next move, as well as clarity on her sudden departure.
