NHL Center Ice is offering a free preview January 12 - 18th. All you have to do is tune in and watch. You also have to sit through those bad Roenick & Anson Carter commercials, but what the hell it's free.

And damn it I have broadband (cheap-ass fiance of mine). When I had comcast digital cable in my apartment I got the free preview and I really enjoyed it. We are planning to get a W.O.W. package of digital cable and cable/DSL internet (which ever it is that they offer) soon, but aparently not soon enough.

What does Center Ice cost?

First you have to have digital cable. Beyond that, they are offering it as a half season price now for $109.00 for the rest of the season, which includes rounds one and two of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Being the addict I am, I have to have center ice. It's good stuff for hockey fans.

The price has gone up since it was available to me. If there is an NHL next year (or the year after) we plan on getting the NHL Center Ice package if it is available.

If I remember correctly, I paid around $140 for the full season package and they sent me a free Stanley Cup book to boot. I absolutely love it. Last season they showed the AHL All star game and some other special events. This year they showed the Edmonton - Montreal Outdoors game, the old timers game the preceeded that and they showed the games from the World Junior Championships. Of course, you don't get the Hawk home games, but we aren't worth watching this year anyways.

They have to give it away for free because nobody wants it.
