As the NHL season kicks off this week, so does NHL GameCenter LIVE from Verizon Wireless.  The NHL GameCenter app, the official app that provides live streaming access and video highlights during NHL games recently announced significant enhancements available today, January 15.  Available on Android phones and tablets, iPhones and iPads (and later this season on BlackBerry 10) the redesigned NHL GameCenter app now features more free video for users — including post-game video highlights, a live-game simulation with real-time shift changes and play-by-play for the ultimate second-screen experience in hockey.
