NHL Centre Ice

NHL Centre Ice is a Canadian digital cable subscription out-of-market sports package controlled and distributed by Rogers Communications through Rogers Cable as of 2014.

NHL Centre Ice does not black out any game based on attendance or mileage to said arena.

This creates a significant problem in areas that lie within the blackout zone but are not served by the NHL team's regional sports network.

Erie, Pennsylvania is an American example of this: Erie is in the Buffalo Sabres' blackout zone, but MSG Network is not carried in that section of Pennsylvania, thus resulting in a total blackout of all Sabres games not carried on a national provider.

(When Empire Sports Network existed, that outlet did serve Erie.)
