No subscription needed to check out the videos, post-game highlights, team schedules, standings, player stats and the full NHL scoreboard. Pretty Awesome!
“PlayStation 3 is the only system to stream live hockey games in HD,” said Brandon Stander, director of marketing, PlayStation Network. “NHL GameCenter LIVE adds the excitement of professional hockey to the strongest HD sports offering on any console.” -Press
