Beginning with the 2014–15 NHL season, MacLean was hired by Rogers Media when the company acquired the national rights to the NHL. MacLean was removed from the host position of "Hockey Night in Canada", but retained his role as host of "Coach's Corner", and became an on-location host for the new, travelling "Hometown Hockey" broadcasts introduced that season. On June 27, 2016, Rogers announced that MacLean would be reinstated as host of the early games on "Hockey Night" beginning in the upcoming season, replacing George Stroumboulopoulos.
