Jeff Marek Parts Ways with Sportsnet After NHL Draft Weekend

In a surprising turn of events, journalist Jeff Marek has officially parted ways with Sportsnet, a leading sports network in Canada. This news comes on the heels of the NHL draft weekend, where Marek was seen covering the event and interviewing newly selected prospects.

Fans and colleagues alike noticed Marek’s abrupt absence shortly after the draft. He was actively participating in the coverage, only to seemingly vanish from the scene without any prior announcement.

Adding to the mystery, when the popular podcast 32 Thoughts aired a few days later, it was led solely by fellow journalist and insider Elliotte Friedman, with no sign of Marek. Since then, there has been a noticeable silence from Marek on social media, raising eyebrows and creating speculation.

In response to growing inquiries, a representative from Sportsnet confirmed earlier today that Marek is no longer with the network. However, they did not clarify whether he resigned voluntarily or was let go.

This development is a significant loss for Sportsnet and has sent shockwaves through the hockey community, as Marek is widely regarded as one of the most respected voices in NHL reporting.
