Local markets need viewership both in and out of the arena. So if your favorite team is playing on NBC or NBCSN, then you won’t be able to watch via NHL Center Ice or NHL.TV.

Which means that you can use any of the following services: Just remember, you’ll still have to pay for NHL.TV separately to catch every game for your favorite teams.

Aside from the price, NHL Center Ice is what the most avid fans need.
