If I were in the same situation as you, I'd go the Slingbox route. $200 will get you a Slingbox Solo (the HD version is overkill unless you're viewing it on a local network), which you'll be able to use forever as opposed to paying per season. Centre Ice would give you a lot of other games, obviously, but you are probably just wanting to follow the Flames. Game Center looks pretty cool on the PS3, so if you're big into stats and all of the extra stuff, that may be an option.
Setup is pretty easy: buy it, hook it up, install the free SlingPlayer app on your computer, run the setup utility while on the same local network, and you're pretty much good to go for remote viewing after that.
Two important considerations: You'll be literally watching and controlling your parents' cable box. So if they're watching something else, you can either screw around with them and switch the channel on them, or you can watch what they're watching. They may be watching the game anyway, but if they're not, you'll have to PVR it and watch it later. If they've got multiple cable boxes, I'd suggest hooking it up to the least used one.
The other thing is, you'll be limited by the upload speed of your parents' internet connection. 0.5 Mbps (Shaw High Speed) is just passable quality, 2.5 Mbps (Shaw Extreme) is pretty decent. It is still below standard definition, but you're usually watching on a smaller screen and/or in a window, so it isn't as pronounced.
One final note is that you'll need a wired connection to it. Depending on your parents' house, you may need to run some Cat5 cable to their TV where you'd be installing the Slingbox.
