The National Hockey League and its technology partner NeuLion are reporting this morning that subscriptions to NHL GameCenter LIVE increased by 31% in the 2010-2011 season, with a 83% renewal rate. The service, which costs $169 for the season, includes live out-of-market game broadcasts, full-length and condensed replays and 500+ classic games in the NHL Vault.
The 2010-2011 season also marked the first time the service was available on Apple, Android, Blackberry and Nokia mobile devices, and the accompanying NHL GameCenter app was downloaded over 2 million times.
