The National Hockey League is as tech-savvy as any professional sports organization in the world. This is evident in the NHL's latest promotional campaign for its popular NHL GameCenter Live Internet subscription package.
Whereas before fans could only watch the games on their home PC monitor or laptop screen, now viewers can take advantage of the increasing number of mobile devices streaming live video and the connecting devices that play streaming video from the PC on the large living room flat screen TV.
NHL GameCenter Live is now available on the PlayStation 3 video game console in HD quality by simply purchasing the app for $9.99 from the PS3 store (PlayStation Plus members can download the app for free). A PS3 console can be found for as low as $250. NHL games are also available on the Roku streaming player, which offers HD-quality games on your TV with built in Wi-Fi for access virtually anywhere the TV set is plugged in. The Roku box is less than 5 inches wide and 1 inch tall and it only costs $59.99. The Boxee is another Internet-connected device that allows you to watch thousands of TV shows, movies and live sporting events from the Internet to your television set. The Boxee retails at $199. There are no additional subscription costs to use NHL GameCenter Live on Roku or Boxee.
Lastly, soon NHL GameCenter Live will be available on iPad via an iTunes app. So from now on, no matter where you are, there really are no excuses not to watch the fastest sport in the world.

Hopefully the NHL will expand GameCenter Live to also include the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Apple TV and other Internet-connected devices.
