Enter to #win a pair of #hockey tickets to #MTLvsNSH in #Montreal #RGCL Ends 19/01
MAJOR NEWS ALERT (READ ON!)
If you’re like me, you love hockey; playing hockey, watching hockey and breathing hockey (it’s a thing). You get excited when you hear the Habs (insert any other team’s name….just not when I’m around), get overly competitive (Habs 4 life!) and cannot hear our national anthem being sung at a hockey game without getting goosebumps and a little teary eyed, READ on.
I remember the old days when we’d have to rush home because the game was on. A long, long time ago (okay maybe not that long ago) we used to have to rely on our national network to air the game and then life would stand still while we all congregated around the television. Things have come a long way since then.
In the age of here and now we want to be able to watch the game wherever we are, we want to get as close to the players as we possibly can and we want to do it all NOW. That’s why I was thrilled to hear of Rogers GameCentre Live (RGCL). It’s the answer to a hockey lover’s prayers. You can use RGCL to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs and the 2015 NHL All-Star Game on phones, tablets and computers; pretty much wherever you are.
RGCL is an experience within the NHL mobile app and it’s available here or by downloading through the app store.
Remember the part about wanting to get as close to the players as possible, what’s awesome is that during select games, Rogers customers get exclusive access to GamePlus – that lets them choose from innovative cameras, multiple angle replays, post-game analysis and behind the scenes action. Pretty much anything that a hockey lover could want and more. Think cameras that take you behind the bench and on the ice.
The Globe and Mail recently published a behind the scenes article on Hockey Night in Canada which prompted Rogers to install a camera to give Rogers GamePlus subscribers a behind the scenes glimpse of a live Hockey Night in Canada broadcast with audio so viewer discretion is advised.

Special camera features are available for select NHL regular season games each week, and for big-ticket events including the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Some of the cameras available:
- Speed Cam sits at the 200 level, and follows the puck red line at six metres per second
- Ref Cam is on the referee’s helmet and takes fans along for the ride to get in on face offs, breakaways and goals
- POV Cam spotlights the hustle from inside the blue lines and for the first time, inside the players’ benches
- Star Cam tracks a single player throughout the game no matter where the puck goes
- Goal Line Cam provides a top-down view of the ice, directly above the offensive action
- MyReplay lets fans select up to seven different angles to analyze key plays during the game, including goals, power plays, penalty kills, and the ref’s tough calls.
If you’re not bedazzled yet…keep reading, it gets better. I’ll be heading to watch the Montreal Canadiens play the Nashville Predators this Tuesday night January 20th at 7:30pm and……DRUMROLL the awesome folks at Rogers would like to send YOU and a guest to join me. How awesomely-amazing-doing-back-flips-insane is that?!

My son is a huge hockey fan I would take him with me !!!
Huge hockey fan and could really use a fun break and a night out at a game 🙂
Go Habs Go
Go Habs Go!!!
because my daughter would LOVE to go!
I would love to see a game… I haven’t been to one and it would be awesome to cheer for the Habs with
everyone at the Bell Center…
I’m a huge fan and haven’t had a chance to see a game since moving back to Montreal! Would be a much needed, fun night out!
Go Habs Go! I haven’t been to a game this season, unfortunately.
Been watching hockey since the 90’s. We have the best atmosphere in the NHL and it’s always a experience setting foot in the bell centre for a habs game. Interesting read above, Rogers Game center does seem impressive.
Been a Habs fan since I was kid, would love to go the game 🙂
Too bad it wasn’t a Bruins game I’d definitely enter to win!
I love going to live hockey games. It’s so much more exciting to see it live 🙂
What a great giveaway! Even though I live in Florida, I still love a good hockey game.
I have been a habs fan my entire life 🙂 My entire family is made up of the biggest hockey fans, most of us for the habs, a few of them for the leafs -_- what a great contest !!
My hubby and I are HUGE Habs fan! They are doing amazing holding in the top 10 in the league! Thanks for the chance!
I live in SC and although it is usually sunny and warm I recently found out that we have our own hockey team. I am excited about seeing an actual live game versus just watching it on TV! The giveaway sounds great!
How convenient is that! And what a great giveaway! Good luck to all the entries!
I would love to see a hockey game! I’ve actually never watched a game at the Bell Centre!
I have never been to a Habs game. The first NHL game I saw live was in Ottawa vs. the Predators about 12yrs ago, so it would be very cool to see the Habs beat them as well! 😉 Plus spending an evening with Fariha would be tons of fun! 🙂
Good luck Corinna 🙂
Never been to a live hockey game. Would love to experience!
I never did get into sports. My hubby would love to go to a hockey game, I’m sure.
It’s my Hubby’s birthday next week and it would be an awesome present!!!
This is so cool. I will tweet out for others since I don’t live anywhere close to this.
We love hockey!
What a great contest for all Habs and Montreal fans! thank you for the opportunity to win a great night!
GamePlus seems great for big hockey fanatics. I can’t believe how many camera options they have.
I know eh? I was really impressed by it.
This is a great contest for hockey fans! I know there will be one happy winner. 🙂
Sports games always seem to draw such amazing atmospheres. Good luck to all entering.
Go Habs Go 🙂
Go Habs go!!! Last time I had tickets, I had to give them up because I was to be induced …. hope I get picked!!!!
I’m not a hockey fan at all but I love your enthusiasm and can’t wait to read about your experience! Have a great time!
Thanks Lois.
Going to Montreal is not in the cards for me now, but I hope to go back someday. I was there years ago. It’s a beautiful city!
I have wanted to take my 18 & 22 yr old sons to a game for years. We love hockey & have made many memories in arenas as they played hockey. I would LOVE to take my two sons to a game but it’s very costly. This would be amazing & my two sons could watch the game together. My 40 th bday was a couple of days ago and the best present I could get is sending my boys to the game.
Thank you and hope you have an amazing time.
Live hockey games are the best!! I’ve never been to an NHL game though.
Wow this is pretty awesome! Huge hockey fan here!!! NHL games are a blast!
I love seeing hockey live! It’s so much more thrilling than from a chair at home infront of the tv
Thanks for the info on GamePlus. My boys are huge hickey fans
My pleasure. Despite attending the game in person I’m really intrigued by all the additional features that Rogers offers. It really gets you right into the game!
What a great giveaway. My husband and I used to go to a lot of hockey games before we had children.
While we are not hockey fans, we love spports. Time to give hockey a chance and maybe visit the Rodgers center!
Hockey games are always so much fun to attend!
Wish we were closer! My husband loves hockey.
I don’t live close enough to enter, but I Love hockey. It’s a family favorite.
We are huge hockey fans here. My kids would be thrilled to go to a game like this.
I have never been to a hockey game. My husband and my brother in laws though, would LOVE this. They’re huge fans!
What an awesome opportunity for a hockey fan! You will have such a blast!!
It would be totally awesome to win these tickets. I have always wanted to see a hockey game
Hockey games are so exciting! It’s a sport both my husband and I watch.
I have actually never understood hockey much but my brother who lives in Canada LOVES it. I just watch it for the fights. 🙂
I like that you can see behind the bench scenes and on the ice scenes too. My husband was born and raised in Michigan, close to Detroit, so he’s a huge hockey fan too. I won’t say ‘Go Red Wings,’ since you said not to in your opening statement, hahahahaa 🙂 😉
Love it 😉
Hockey is big here in Michigan. I love live events but I don’t have much fun when I try to watch sports on television so I usually pass on that. Montreal would be cool. I would love to visit more places in Canada.
We are a huge hockey family. We would love to win tickets to a game.
I’ve never been to a hockey game before. Would have been so nice to win tickets!
Hockey live? Now that is awesome. Never had a chance to see one yet hehe..
Not a hockey fan myself, but plenty of friends who are! Will share!
