There might be "featured" games which are being shown on premier sports which would be blacked out on gamecenter, but those are rare as I understand it. Maybe easy to bypass with Hola unblocker?

Nope, it's right; I have both Gamecenter and Premier Sports, out of necessity.
Premier Sports FAQ's:
Q: What games will be blocked live on GameCenter online?
A: 12-15 games we select to broadcast live each week, Most of the playoff games from rounds 1 and 2, all of the playoff games from round 3, the Stanley Cup Final matches, the Winter Classic and other outdoor games and the All-Star matches.
Q: When can GameCenter show the games they have to block in the UK?
A: They can make games available after the live event has finished.
Q: Why are Premier Sports making GameCenter block games?
A: The channel invested heavily in the new 4 year contract to bring 15 games a week of NHL to UK television. Protecting our investment is a priority which also means the long-term television coverage of the NHL in the UK remains viable.

I recommend UK residents just bite the bullet and subscribe to Premier Sports, it is a rolling £9.99 per month contract so you can cancel after the Flames win the Cup in June.
