Features that were once available only to paid subscribers of the NHL GameCenter™Premium app are now free for users registered with NHL.com or logged in with their Facebook account, including live game audio streams and select in-game video highlights, making this the first official professional sports league app to make these features available for free regardless of wireless provider.
