Many were shocked to hear that Sportsnet had parted ways with Marek last week, just one day after a report from YYZ Sports Media suggested that an incident during the NHL Entry Draft led Sportsnet to reconsider its position on Marek. The next day, Marek confirmed the news on social media, mentioning he would soon announce his next moves.
YYZ Sports Media emphasized that Marek's departure is separate from the anticipated wave of cuts and layoffs at Rogers Sportsnet. No details are available about who may be affected or when the announcements will be made. It appears that several industry professionals could soon be out of work, which is unfortunate as corporate executives continue to profit from the hard work of those facing layoffs. We will monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
