NEW YORK - For die-hard hockey fans there is no such thing as watching too much hockey. Verizon is helping these fans get even more hockey programming, by adding NHL Center Ice to the FiOS TV lineup.  Also, Verizon will launch the NHL Network in the coming days.

NHL Center Ice is a subscription sports package that includes up to 40 out-of-market NHL games per week and select games from the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. As an added bonus, Verizon will broadcast select NHL Center Ice games in high definition (HD).  The price is $169 for the entire season.

Where did you find this info, and when is this supposed to launch?  I just called and was told just center ice, no NHL Network channel?????  I'm dying for the channel!!

The NHL Network will be apart of the package but isn't added there yet but speculation would be sometime this month or next month.  No actual date has been set for NHL Network

Part of what package?  Will it be treated the same as NFL network or will we have to pay extra?
