DIRECTV Airs Free Preview of NHL® CENTER ICE®

NHL season has arrived. And this year, DIRECTV is giving its subscribers a sneak peak of what they can expect from the exclusive NHL CENTER ICE sports package. This month only – from October 1-24 – DIRECTV is running a free preview of NHL CENTER ICE on channels 769-785. Hockey fans can catch every game before deciding if they want to sign up for the package. Of course, it’ll be tough to find a reason not to sign up.

NHL CENTER ICE airs up to 40 games each week and brings you all the Stanley Cup Playoff games.  You’ll also get up to 12 games a week in high-definition. But one of the most unique features of NHL CENTER ICE is the dual feed coverage. With dual feed, you can watch your favorite team and have the option of watching home or away broadcast coverage. More games, unique coverage options and high definition are just a few reasons why NHL CENTER ICE is a must-have for hockey fans.

There’s no better time than this weekend to make the most of this free preview from DIRECTV. The Atlanta Thrashers are taking on the New Jersey Devils. The Tampa Bay Lightning are playing the Pittsburgh Penguins. And the Los Angeles Kings play the Blue Jackets in Columbus. Of course, that’s just a small sample of NHL action this weekend. Over 15 games will air live on DIRECTV. Tune into the NHL Network – another perk of the NHL CENTER ICE package – and catch all the latest hockey news and highlight shows with 24-hour NHL coverage.
