Comcast today has finally begun selling the NHL Center Ice package of out-of-market games, just two days prior to the start of the 2020-2021 season.
From now through February 10, the cable operator is charging $100 (four monthly installments of $25) for the package which promises up to 40 games a week in High-Definition. Comcast does not say on its Center Iceweb pagewhat the price will be after February 10.
To watch the Center Ice in HD, you must have an Xfinity X1 set-top and HD service. The games will be available on channels 3067-3097.
The 56-game, Covid-shortened NHL 2020-2021 season will start on Wednesday night with a 5:30 p.m. ET matchup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. The season is scheduled to end on May 8 with a 16-team playoff to follow. (Nationally televised NHL broadcasts are not available on Center Ice.)
I also called yesterday, Rep was completley confused called her supervisor who told her that they may not be carrying Center Ice this year... I also asked if we were going to get any credit for last year being canceled. Just completely clueless, left by saying she would call me back with an update... so far crickets.
I am looking into NHL tv but do not want to see the score of games prior to watching, I work late and can not watch games live.
I also know the call was in the united states and someone working from home. But regardless it is still poor customer serice on Comcasts part to be last in line of information when other provider such as Spectrum and Direct Tv etc.. are already offering the package and pricing and maybe I'm just venting but I sick of the enless hold times and money I pay to them to get such lousy service . My only other option is to end service because they are the only choice in my condo association..
Just got off the phone (Jan 8 6pm est) with Xfinity. They have no clue. Waited 30 minutes for an answer and none came. Crazy that no one knows anything. Really?? "Supervisor" involved said just say NHL into remote. Yeah, tried that buddy.....
Calling Comcast is an exercise in futility as most of the time you get a representative in a foreign country who can barely speak English and has no clue what you are asking about.
I have found that I am better off driving about 10 minutes to my nearest Comcast office to ask my questions and within minutes they will have answered my questions. Only if I am desperate will I call Comcast.
It is a joke that they don't give you NHL.TV when other providers do. They also don't care if their DVRs lose the recording. Get NHL.TV or another provider if you like hockey.

I don't believe they will not carry it.
I also know the call was in the united states and someone working from home.
