The print edition is to terminate at the end of 2016. Beginning in January 2017, the magazine is to publish online only.[1]

History

On June 9, 2011, Rogers executive Ken Whyte announced plans for a new sports magazine as a brand extension of Rogers' Sportsnet television channel, modeled off a similar magazine produced by ESPN.[2] The first issue was released on September 29, 2011, with Sidney Crosby on the cover; the launch of Sportsnet Magazine came alongside a major re-branding of Rogers' sports broadcasting outlets.[3] The first woman to appear on the cover was the late skier Sarah Burke.
