NHL Centre Ice

[Brick]

It is rumored that NHL Centre Ice will be on a free preview until January 31st and that subscribers will pay around $50 for the shortened season.

I called Shaw yesterday and they didn't have the details yet.

Does anyone know more about it?

man, rumour here in ON is that Rogers isn't allowing CI purchase on it's own, and that you need to subscribe to the sportspack (~ $30/month) to get CI.

That would frigin suck. I usually do get the sportspack as it allows me to watch any NHL and NFL game i want. But with the NFL being done, 30/month is WAY too much.

Rogers is dumb , gotta love bell sat had it for 5yrs will never change providers.

As of right now my channel guide is showing NBA games on the CI channels saturday and Sunday

From Shaw:
NHL Centre Ice will be available on free preview until
January 31, 2013. Starting Wednesday, customers
can purchase the package for a one time rate of
$49.99. Shaw friends can enjoy 15 % off NHL Centre Ice as well.

Winnipeg Jets fans in the regional broadcast areas
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, the Northwest
Territories and Northwestern Ontario can tune into
TSN Jets at the same great price of $9.95 / month.
They can expect to receive up to 38 games with their
subscription.

Boom! $42.50 for centre ice is awesome. So pumped. Haven't had it in a couple years but this price will get me back.

[Young-Sneezy]

so, the NHL gives back by discounting Centre Ice to $50 dollars aka by 50%.....for 50% of the games....


Now, im no mathematician, but that sounds like 100% of the cost for 100% of the available product to me...

not quite. i think CI is typically ~$200 for the season.

4th year in a row for CI for me since moving to California. It was $179 last year, I got it yesterday for $50. Sweet deal.

If you subscribe to NHLCI does it include GameCenter as well?

Actually, sounds like a 75% discount for 59% of the games.

Per "season game", it's about $1.02, vs about $2.50 in past years.

bubbsy is correct, the usual cost is $200. You get 58% of the season for 25% of the price. It's an outstanding deal.

Telus... your move please.

Do you need to sign up with Shaw friends to get the deal?
