Clarification on Android/AndroidTV (NHL package)

by PolishTea

I'd prefer to purchase an Shield as opposed to a Roku player but one mandatory feature for me would be including the NHL Center Ice package. I know the Roku environment has it but I only see it listed as "available for Android" and not explicitly "Android TV"

Is anyone able to clarify for me if a Shield can run the NHL Center Ice package app?

I'm not seeing it but it seems that nhl game center does have chromecast support so at the very least, you could install on your phone/tablet and cast to the shield.

The current app doesn't support AndroidTV. Like the previous poster said, the mobile app does support casting.

However, after the first of the year, NHL's deal with MLB Advanced Media kicks in. This means that a better, Android TV capable app should be coming in the not-so-distant future.
