Center Ice on cable. Been perfect for 15 years. Never missed a game or had reception problems. Not once.
NHL.TV / Center Ice / ESPN+ Discussion - Part IV [See the warning in OP]
- Thread starter EastonBlues22
- Start date
Center ice has been outstanding. I was saddened when the nhl handed the tv rights to espn. Thier business model is the modern monopoly style of buy all the content and continue to degrade the broadcast quality by hiring broadcast talent like thier lead play by play (the hairless guy) who looks like hes never seen sunlight and has certainly never played a sport in his life. And by using broadcast equipment souced from jr college cinema classes.
Cancel your espn + a nd replace it with nhl center ice- you'll never go back.

That’s pricey but if I want to watch hockey online I’m not sure what choice I have . Not too many other options .
I'd assume all the converted nhl app custumers who bought the sn+ app in 2022 and 2023 are all coming up on their renewal dates soon . Maybe they'll see how many are ok with 249.99 before deciding to send out a discount code if auto renewals are down .
at some point last spring they had a promo code that offered it for half price so I'd imagine they can throw us a bone and offer 50 off to bring it down to 199.99

Anyone got recommendations on best way to stream NHL network? I’m astonished it’s not available yet on YouTube TV (somehow NHL keeps shooting themselves in the foot) and I subscribe to ESPN+ but hate when certain out of market games get put on nhl network; that said if there was a simple option to pay to stream them, I’ll do it
Yeah , ultimately, I’m going to get it but I think I’m going to wait it out and see if they offer a promo .

I've been trying to figure that out for years. It seems like the league ignores their own network, yet still blacks out games (And it's a lot of games too). The NHL is really bad at this bringing the game to the fans thing.
I think the final few years that I bought center ice through Bell Satellite it was around 53 $ x 4 installments for around 212 + hst so 249.99 isnt much more of a stretch + you get Jays etc etc .
thats why 199.99 is a very fair price for what you get but an extra 50$ wont be a deal breaker for diehards although returning loyal custumers should be given some type of discount automatically

Does NHL Center Ice block the local market teams?
I'm trying to decide whether to add Center Ice to my cable pkg or renew the ESPN+ pkg. On ESPN+ there's a 24hr block on local market games.

Yes, but if you have DTV in LA you can get Bally's, unfortunately it's part of the sports pak.

Do you still have access to games from last season? I'm not seeing any on my end.
I had center ice through Bell for several years and the leaf games were N/A due to my location in ontario . I'd imagine its the same in the U.S . To watch the leafs on my satt t.v pkg I'd have have sportsnet and tsn
Looks like some pre-season games will be on ESPN+, beginning this Saturday, 21 Sept at 8PM EST with Wild vs Jets.
How do you know if sportsnet+ renews you? I haven't seen any charges to my card yet nor emails.
Personally I think I am going with center Ice with my TV provider. The main reason I went with the Gamecenter/Sportsnet+ is they used to show both telecasts home and away), it seems now they are just as bad as Center Ice for picking only one team and certain teams get favored status. Since I work for my TV company I can get a little discount on it

I'd suggest logging into your SN account to see when your subscription expires . They sent me an email around 2 weeks before it was to expire/auto renew with a vague ''40 % cheaper than if you subscribe monthly'' which translated into 249.99 so I turned off auto-renew for now and will wait and see of a promo arrives .
I believe i did turn off auto renew last year. As I said my main reason for choosing gamecenter(now Sportsnet+) over Center Ice was that Gamecenter allowed me to choose which telecast I wanted to watch where Center Ice forced me to watch the one they picked. If Sportsnet+ doesn't have that option I might as well get Center Ice from my cable company.
ETA: I logged in and cancelled my subscription so I am not sure if they would have automatically renewed me Oct 1 but seems like they might have. All I know is they haven't sent me any emails recently

Another year and there is nothing different about the NHL schedule or how they do things. You see excitement for the NBA and NFL but the NHL once again is quiet. Having an announcement like NHL Network is going to be on ESPN+ would be exciting and make me eager for the season. Now it's almost preseason and I'm not as excited about the season as I was in past years.

Ah, that sucks. Was hoping to pull some clips before the season starts. Thanks for confirming, though.
