Anybody know how NHL Center Ice is going to work this year?    

Looks like nhl.tv is no longer a thing, it redirects to ESPN+

So it looks like you'll need an ESPN+ subscription and then the NHL package on top of that for out-of-market games?

On DTv, the renewal price is only $70 this year.  Usually it's more like $140.

Subscribe to ESPN+ and stream the games.  Center Ice is defunct in the US.  ESPN+ is significantly cheaper and is more than just the NHL (which is the point I think:  the NHL wants to insert itself into more households).

Altrady have the ESPN and D+ bundle w Hulu. so that's it?   What a bargain, I'll take it.

Yeah we almost signed up last year when this was announced but I decided to hold off until.... well, about now.  I'll probably sign up in a week or two.  We currently have D+

Looks like all out of market games will be available on ESPN+

Not gonna lie, kinda nice to roll into work at 7, toss Sportscenter on mute in the background and see a bunch of hockey highlights out the corner of my eye (the only way Sportscenter should ever be viewed, but I digress...).  Been too long.

This is awesome. I had forgotten that I used to do that. I don’t even know what channel ESPN is on hour in house cable system.😀

A fun thing I discovered last night and forgot to mention: If you're subscribed to Hulu and ESPN+ (I assume through the bundle because that's how I do it so the accounts are linked) then all the hockey games (both feeds) are dropped into the front page of your Hulu menu so you don't have to go spelunking through the ESPN app.
