It is worth a shot as some might hear of new information given the reach of AT&T users.
I do watch on the FS channels, but the NHL network provides more in depth coverage than NBC Sports most times. I'll disagree with your assesment that it shouldn't be included.. If anything dump the NBA network.. Basketball is quite the nonessential "sport."

I personally have nothing against hockey or the NHL. In fact, I like it. I subscribe to NHL Gamecenter Live. If the NHL Network came back I would probably look at it occasionally. I was just trying to tell you why it isn't being offered and why I backed AT&T up for their reasons for not offering it. The dispute seems to be more the fault of the NHL than of UVerse. Regardless of what sports individual people like you and me like and want to watch, the overall national numbers and ratings don't lie- the NBA (and MLB and NFL) are more popular sports in this country and I understand why AT&T would balk at the NHL demanding exactly the same treatment as those sports. Financially, it doesn' add up. The NHL Network should settle for U-450 and The Sports Package. Then they would be back on UVerse! But as long as they insist on wanting to be on U-300, UVerse will probably never carry them.

I guess that I'm on the NHL's side on this one. I'd rather just pay for the U300 Sports package as I don't care about a lot of the premium stuff on U450. I also get NHL GameCenter, which costs me an extra $150/year because AT&T won't resolve this; after all, hockey was a sport last time I looked, so what's the problem with being in the Sports Package?
Also, when you have NHL Game Center, if a game is broadcast in your area by other providers that have NHL Network (like Xfinity, which I may have to switch to if this doesn't resolve), Game Center blacks it out. So, you have the ultimate catch-22 of paying for both cable TV and NHL Game Center and still can't get that game that you want to see. Additionally, as others have said, there is a lot of other hockey programming on NHL that is simply unavailable from other sources.

On November 18, 2016, the NHL Network returned to AT&T U-verse: Channel 1638.
