If you're a hockey fan waiting for BlackBerry 10 then you likely already know the NHL GameCenter app will be available soon. In addition to that though, CBC is releasing their native Hockey Night In Canada app into BlackBerry World. With it you'll have access to constantly updated live scores, videos, stats, game results and more. If you want to see it in action, we've posted some screenshots below for you all to check out. Game on!

I just ordered a memory card from the CrackBerry Store, and I noticed there was a free section. In it is a phone dongle with a Toronto Maple Leafs Logo. I added it to my cart, once it gets here, I'm going to set fire to it!

Best comment EVER. If this was twitter, you'd get a Trophy.
Crackberry, can you make a trophy button on the re-build, seriously?

Haha Leafs Nation will hunt you down! Go Leafs Go!

Now thats what im talking about! Youtube that! BOO LEAFS!

Flames fan here. Whenever the Leafs come to town, the local radio stations always throw on smart-alec ads indicating that the "Flames" are going to "burn" a big pile of "Leafs" haha...
Thunderbuck Jan 23, 2013 at 6:03 pm
Ah, yes... if there's one thing that unites Canadians, it's our hatred of everything Leafs... lol

I second that best comment ever. Go Sens Go!

As a hockey fan, even more reason to love the BB10. Can't wait. Is it Xmas yet?
parvezjj Jan 23, 2013 at 12:51 pm
ugh.. ads

Would you rather have to pay for the app? Something needs to help recover the development costs.

wouldn't mind the option. Ads slow things down and $2-$5 to never have to deal with ads is worth it to me.
Darlaten Jan 23, 2013 at 1:41 pm
In terms of ads, I'm in the same boat as you. I will chose a paid option every single time to get rid of ads. I hate ads. And often will delete apps if there are advertisements in them.
As to the CBC app - good that it's coming - but one would think that with all the tax dollars Canadians are forced to pay to the mother corporation, they would be able to bring in an app that doesn't have ads.
Taktalok Jan 23, 2013 at 12:53 pm
I will get this for sure. Go Habs Go!!
KiLuMaNaTi Jan 23, 2013 at 1:09 pm
Me too. Habs Suck!!

This is great news however looks like the app still needs some work. Leafs are indeed playing in PA tonight but its in Pittsburgh. Right state, wrong city.
sk8er_tor Jan 23, 2013 at 1:23 pm
I think these are just sample screenshots. Also, even if they weren't, this is not a bug in the app but the wrong data being pushed to it.
QuIcKsIlV3r Jan 23, 2013 at 2:40 pm
that's the OLD pre lockout schedule!!
Shintocam Jan 23, 2013 at 1:02 pm
Now not only am I having trouble waiting for a new BB10 phone - I cannot wait for my Playbook to be upgraded to BB10. Seeing all these (actually useful and entertaining) apps being talked about is really exciting.
jr4941 Jan 23, 2013 at 1:05 pm
Looks great! I'm so pumped for BB10. ONE WEEK!
birdman_38 Jan 23, 2013 at 3:43 pm
The fonts for headlines and on the scores screen look tiny. Hopefully that can be adjusted in the settings.
TheTigerTek Jan 23, 2013 at 1:10 pm
This is great. Toronto Maple Leafs have already confirmed for BlackBerry 10 this is just cherry on top. GO LEAFS GO!!!! HABS SUCKS!
andrewmcwhirter Jan 23, 2013 at 1:23 pm
Beautiful! Go Habs.
Ospot Jan 23, 2013 at 1:31 pm
I'll wait until the ScoreMobile app comes out!
TheTigerTek Jan 23, 2013 at 1:46 pm
GO LEAFS GO!!! GO RIM GO!!!
dzbeebo Jan 23, 2013 at 2:05 pm
Pfff seriously guys? Leafs? Stop embarassing us.. No Canadian team has done the Canucks has done.. I'm sure I'll be getting a crap load of hate replies to this but I don't care.. GO CANUCKS GO!!
TheTigerTek Jan 23, 2013 at 2:40 pm
Canucks are the cry babies of the NHL. First win a cup then talk. #noRiots
QuIcKsIlV3r Jan 23, 2013 at 2:41 pm
At least the Leafs don't have Loungo... biggest joke in hockey... good in the regular season, horrible in the playoffs!!
TheTigerTek Jan 23, 2013 at 2:46 pm
+10000.
kw9700 Jan 23, 2013 at 3:23 pm
You may soon eat those words. Trade rumours are of Luongo going to Toronto lol.
nocturnal123 Jan 23, 2013 at 6:12 pm
Atleast the Canucks have a chance of making playoffs unlike the Leafs!

Yeah, because it was Luongo's fault that the Canucks lost the Cup to Boston. It had nothing to do with the fact that the highly talented and highly skilled forwards managed to score a total of 8 goals in 7 games, right? And how many did they score in game 7? Oh! that's right, none! Luongo had 2 shutouts in the finals that year and the Canucks won both games 1-0 so ease up on the Luongo hate and look at the real problems plaguing the Canucks. Even last season in round 1 against the Kings, they only scored a total of 8 goals in 5 games.

Hockey and BB? Throw in a Timmy's donut and you've got a dream!
pick1eberry Jan 23, 2013 at 4:50 pm
Throw in a Molson and some bac bacon and you've got my Saturday night!!
QuIcKsIlV3r Jan 23, 2013 at 2:24 pm
Go LEAFS GO!! GO RIM GO!!! GO CBC GO!!!
Since CBC is a Crown Corporation of Canada, this makes me wonder how deep into the government BB10 will get!
rjkolo Jan 23, 2013 at 2:43 pm
Even as a hockey fan in the US this looks like a pretty good app, I would give it a look hoping that it would have highlights and news from around the league and not just those crappy Canadian teams :-P....Let's Go Hawks!
I hope you all take this in fun and I don't start a war about hockey here...lol
Schmurf Jan 23, 2013 at 2:46 pm
I'll pay for the app AND still get the ads if that removes their bias towards certain teams...
torpesco Jan 23, 2013 at 2:58 pm
Wow. A BB10 app from CBC? Have they ever released anything for BB before? They're always pushing their iPhone apps.
birdman_38 Jan 23, 2013 at 3:44 pm
They even have a Windows Phone version so it's to be expected for BlackBerry 10.
Jaralle Jan 23, 2013 at 3:44 pm
Hope this means they will in fact be doing a CBC Music app as well so I can get CBC Radio 3 and all the good Canadian indie artists streaming on my phone!!! GO CANUCKS GO!!!!
jwn66 Jan 23, 2013 at 4:15 pm
Wow, NHL gamecenter too, I might actually buy it for once. Next up, slinglayer, Is a must for me to BB10 when my upgrade rolls around in May. Not fooling around with another jury-rigged version, nope! GO CANUCKS GO!! GO CANUCKS GO!!!
zombie73 Jan 23, 2013 at 5:03 pm
sold!..........Go Habs Go!......... I love this, hockey and BB10 talk at the same time. how Canadian!
dalight13 Jan 23, 2013 at 7:58 pm
haha first time I ever read ALL the comments XD
vespajet Jan 23, 2013 at 5:18 pm
They need to add a wallpaper feature involving Don Cherry's suits.....
dalight13 Jan 23, 2013 at 7:58 pm
hahaha wow love that idea +1000
Thunderbuck Jan 23, 2013 at 6:05 pm
This is very cool to see. I pulled down the CBC app yesterday, and was VERY impressed (the Globe & Mail one is decent, too).
Great to see Canadian media getting behind BB10.
Playbook007 Jan 23, 2013 at 7:34 pm
BB10 Believe is actually gaining traction......CBC and their past iphone/ipad support has been terrible. Also every piece of news about RIM be it Peter Mansbridge, Jessica Language and O'Leary is always portrayed as a death sentence. Even when the news is promising, they spin it bad. They can all go and choke on an Apple......just kidding about the choking part. Can't wait for my new phone! Go Leafs!
dalight13 Jan 23, 2013 at 8:23 pm
Will we get live games on saturday nights like on their website?
BB_Bmore Jan 23, 2013 at 8:39 pm
Smh need some BlackBerry NFL love...at least they don't lock out...Oh wait.
Rootbrian Jan 24, 2013 at 4:03 pm
Sweeeeeeet!!
