MLB, NHL partner for streaming video package

I just saw this on MLB.com, and while I'm not a hockey fan, I know a lot of people around here are. I figured I should share it so people could be informed before they start purchasing their MLB.tv for the year.

Now [MLB and NHL] have come together in a new way, as Major League Baseball Advanced Media and the National Hockey League on Monday announced a partnership that will make available each league's live online streaming product. MLB.TV Premium and NHL GameCenter LIVE will be available to U.S. residents through a bundled subscription for a one-time fee of $139.95 beginning Feb. 16 at MLB.com and NHL.com.

Earlier this month, MLB.TV Premium went on sale with its full-season package (March-October 2009) for $109.95, a $10 discount off the 2008 yearly pricing. The NHL will launch its own standalone Race for the Cup streaming product on Feb. 16 for $79.95.
