Center ice will give you better picture, better consistency (not relying on Internet connection). Gamecenter is way more flexible. On TV or on your mobile/ipad

I have both. The picture is great on gamecenter but it's not as good as CI. Center ice is true HD. At least here in Canada anyways

I much prefer gamecenter as it is more versatile. Phone, iPad, ps4. You can watch on the go if you don't happen to be home. I haven't had center ice since 2012, so I don't know if they now show stats and standings, but it is a fringe thing I like about gc as well.
I'm in the US.

Centre Ice comes from your TV provider, if available in Korea, so streaming it to your computer would probably require extra hardware.
Game Centre goes straight to your desktop and or laptop over the net so it will be available wherever you are. It should be just a matter of signing in on whatever computer, tablet or most smart TVs you are using. It just can't be used on more than one a at a time.

I use hockeystreams.com Can't say enough good things about it - no blackouts, many different options for subscription lengths (days, weeks, months) and ability to use on pretty much any platform.

I was looking at getting GC next season. I'm possibly moving to Fort Mac or Grand Prairie this September for school, and would like to pick it up so I can watch pretty much every Flames game. Would that work out well in my favour?
I ask because I am completely getting rid of cable. My Roku covers enough for me, sans hockey games.

If you're going to be in Alberta, the Flames games will be blacked out.

That is horse crap. Absolute horse crap. Is there any way around that? Besides illegal streams or not moving to Alberta?

You can use unblockus or another service like it, which you should have anyway if you are living without cable

I'm not 100% sure on that as I never bothered, or can't remember, to watch Canucks games on game centre. You will be blacked out of national televised games though unless you use unblockus or similar. I remember trying Hola (it didn't work) and that blocked me from all games.

Nope. National games aren't blocked and I don't use unblockus

Interesting, maybe Kamloops puts you out of the Canucks area for some reason.

What games will I not be able to watch live with NHL GameCenter LIVE™?Games broadcast on local and national television in your area are subject to blackouts in NHL GameCenter LIVE™. In certain regions, if a game is available for you to view on television in your local viewing area, then it will not be available to watch live in NHL GameCenter LIVE™. Regardless, after 48 hours the full length game replays will be available in the game archive.

Nationally televised games are also subject to blackouts in NHL GameCenter LIVE™ as well. In the United States all Stanley Cup Playoffs and Stanley Cup Final games will be nationally televised.
Please note that this lookup is only offered as guidance and your location is determined by the IP address you are accessing the service from. Blackouts are enforced based on the location of your viewing and not your purchase, so if you are travelling blackouts will be enforced accordingly.

Thanks, I guess things have changed. This is my first year without GameCentre as I use to get it free from Bell.
