SC & NHL settle differences

[Satellite Expert]

After all these years, it appears that SC and the NHL have finally reached an agreement.

CI coming to SC for next season with up to 200 games in HD (which tells me that there will be at least 1 Viewers Choice HD PPV channel launched which will share bandwidth with NHL CI HD)

Good news. This time more is better. Lets hope they don't charge too much for CI.

sweet

but on the downside there goes the free Sens games on A-Channel for everyone

I don't think there will be any HD games in the Centre Ice package itself. I think the 200 game count comes from the total games on TSN, CBC, ABC and NBC.

ABC doesn't do hockey - but SC is probably counting those 10 or so Wings games that WJBK-DT does each year

Just as a comparison, Bell had 200+ HD games in its CI package last season, so I can see SC having the same in the future.
