Re: football or ice hockey???
Setanta carry many games. On non digital channels sportsnet and The Score carry one prem game a week. It will be early in the morning in BC though (Sat and Sun respectively). I think they are contractually obliged to show a couple of games from each team. Usually its the top two or three in the table who get coverage, so Man U games might be in short supply for you
TSN carries champions league games. Its a lottery which teams they show, but one UK team is usually on feed each machday week (does that even make sense?).

Re: football or ice hockey???
Nah, I was checking my table of "European trophy winners" ...
I'm not saying the current situation will last (although the often dissapointed rampant optimist in me thinks it might), but the schedulers at the canadian stations know bugger all about footy, so they go by the current standings.
