I was checking news feeds from my favorite blogs and David Singer's The Ice Block got my attention... "NHL Network Coming to America" was a compelling post title seeing people have been waiting for this forever...

Well, forever is here. Forever is now. Especially in Tampa Bay.

I haven't checked the other local cable operators but Bright House Networks offers the NHL Network as part of their Sports Tier package ($2.99 extra) on channel 808 on digital cable boxes. Note, the station is NOT listed in the above link -- but it's there from my own surfing-the-cable-box verification. I personally don't subscribe to the sports tier -- but that may change now that the NHL network (and how long before the NFL network?) is here.
