Recently, speculation has emerged that Jeff Marek is on his way out at Sportsnet, and now the veteran host has officially confirmed the news. Sportsnet's hockey coverage has been among the best of any network in recent years, and one big reason for that is the duo of Elliotte Friedman and <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Marek' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Jeff Marek</a>, who make up the 32 Thoughts podcast that is beloved everywhere by hockey fans. Unfortunately, that is seemingly coming to an end, as Marek recently confirmed speculation about his departure with an official statement on social media. <q>Firstly, thanks for the outpouring of kinds words on Twitter/X. It really means the world to me, said Marek. After 13 great years at Sportsnet, I'm moving on. It's been an incredible journey and I'm thankful to have worked alongside so many great people and played a role in bringing sports and hockey news to fans across Canada and the world. More to come soon.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/JeffMarek/status/1816940951425986749'> </a></blockquote></div> It's unclear exactly what caused this departure, as Marek has played a great role for Sportsnet in recent years, but he teases in his post that there's more to come on his future soon which may shed some light on the reasoning. Regardless, Sportsnet now have some big shoes to fill, and while Friedman is expected to carry on the 32 Thoughts podcast solo for the near future, big changes could be on the way for the network.
