Tom Clancy did a fine job exploring what the side effects of such a bomb would be in his novel considering what happens to the TV satelites around the world. Would we be in a situation were every TV satelite around the world stops working? Does the Internet still work? Will USA blame a nation with nukes?
The NHL as an organisation lose part from it´s top two teams and the owners of that franschise many of their top executives. Will the league be able to sustain such a hit and keep going for the next season.
The Network that covers it will lose the most experienced personel for covering sport that they have. How will they cope?

Of course! The Internet is a very robust bit of human engineering. It is designed around the mesh network system where every single server is connected to every single possible server. This system was designed by the US Military in order to maintain communications between bases in the advent of full-on nuclear war.
The Internet might slow down, but it will keep on chuggin' along.
