President of Sportsnet and NHL properties Scott Moore to leave at end of month

TORONTO — Scott Moore is stepping down from his role as president of Sportsnet and NHL properties after eight years at Rogers Communications.

Moore will leave Sportsnet at the end of the month, according to a statement released Tuesday by the sports broadcaster.

He played a key role in helping Rogers secure a 12-year, $5.2-billion deal with the NHL in 2013.

Rogers says a search is underway for Moore’s successor. In the interim, Rick Brace, president of Rogers Media, will oversee Sportsnet in addition to his current role.
