I got Cox Cable(unfortunately that's all they have available for us), and I just ordered Center Ice for $160. Definitely worth it!

Because in the US we don't care about hockey. It's not a knock against it, but it's not our thing. Football is a religion here.

I like football, but hockey is definitely a part of my religion. And I live in the US. :)

Oh I know I am. I don't care though, I'm not going to stop loving hockey because the majority of Americans can't understand it/follow the puck.

It's more along the lines of me not being able to afford it at this point, if that is an add-on channel that is.

Ahh yeah. I have so many bills now I really couldn't afford it. It's $160 if you buy it right now. I gave in pretty quickly though. It's the first year the Hawks will have all their home games televised in Illinois (thank you for dying, Mr. Wirtz!!!!!), but I'm in California. It's great to be able to see all of their games!

Unfortunately, I live in 'Leaf Country' so the only games I get are Leafs + Canucks/Flames/Oilers(whichever is on late at night). If I could afford center ice, I'd be able to watch all my Sharks games :D

It's true that hockey isn't big in the US though. NHL needs to wise up and gets some kind of ESPN deal, on top of Versus.

Well we have a pretty meh university football scene, and the 8-team CFL is hardly paid attention to. At least to my knowldge.

We probably enjoy the NFL more than our own CFL.

There are 13 hockey games going on today. If you want to watch other teams play besides yours, you should get NHL center ice.

Yup. I never got it, I didn't think it'd be worth it. Well now I have my nice HD-DVR Box, along with Center Ice. It's amazing! :)

I agree, I don't want to buy the MSG channel just to see the Rangers play. Unfortunately, other sports have priority in America.

Ice hockey is my religion lol. TV coverage is lacking like you said, but at least you have options to get your hockey fix. NHL Center Ice is absolutely awesome, and I can't live without it lol. You get to watch pretty much every game of the year and playoffs for only $169 ($159 if you order early enough). You can get the online version instead too for the same price. The NHL should be on ESPN. I still can't comprehend how Gary Buttman has his job...

Well the worst Staff member in the NHL croaked (Mr. Wirtz), so maybe Bettman can follow?

Sadly, Nashville Community College could probably pull bigger ratings, so that's why.
