Unlike its predecessor, Rogers Monday Night Hockey focuses on the statistical side of hockey and uses the new NHL player and puck tracking system to give fans a more in-depth look into the game. However, it also pays homage to Hometown Hockey by giving a free viewing party to watch the game at a different Canadian city that it comes too.
