Sling TV, the cable replacement service that packages channels into small inexpensive addon bundles has a major new offer for Hockey Fans. The service is integrating NHL Center Ice into its lineup. Center Ice is a long-standing service from the NHL that fans can use to watch Hockey from outside their media market. The service is available as a separate app outside of Sling TV but signing up via Sling TV allows users to keep more of their TV viewing in one place. Users will be able to access games via it’s traditional program grid as though they were part of a normal TV lineup. In general, the integration truly highlights the difference between Internet TV where internet content is not readily available without using separate apps.
Center Ice costs $29 per month as a standalone premium à la carte subscription, or as an add-on to any SLING TV base subscription.
“We’re thrilled to give our customers and hockey fans everywhere NHL Center Ice on SLING TV, which will offer the best NHL experience in the game,” said David Teplinsky, vice president of Programming and Strategy, SLING TV. “With the addition of live, must-see sports programming like NHL Center Ice, we continue to deliver better value and more choice to our customers who want a high quality streaming TV experience across traditional TV and mobile devices.”
NHL Center Ice provides fans with up to 40 live, out-of-market games each week, across the NHL, all season long. Fans can stream the goals, hits, commentary and analysis, from Florida to Vancouver. Games included on NHL Center Ice are in addition to games available on NBCSN, NHL Network and local channels.
