@hoboryan and @RogersDarrell
I saw this thread a few hours ago and had the same questions as @hoboryan. Before replying I decided to try a few things out and do a little research. One question has been answered as well by @RogersDarrell in that the "Rogers GameCentre LIVE app will be cast-enabled shortly before the season begins". That is good to hear as everything pointed out by @hoboryan is correct. This really is the only way to have this work correctly using a smartphone or a tablet. It needs to be cast enabled in the same way that Shomi now is.
We were hoping to use our iPad to cast games to our Chromecast enabled TV. There is definitely no "cast screen" option on the iOS Chromecast app as posted by Amanda. I checked and we have the latest version of the app. Also, according to Google Chrome Help, "To cast from iOS, you need a supported app to cast from." As of today, there is no such supported app available for Chromecast so once again it is good to hear that it is coming. The "cast screen" option does work from my Android phone (I was able to cast a highlight video from the NHL app) but it is indeed very cumbersome. We really do need this to become cast enabled and supported by Chromecast.
As for which app to download @hoboryan, I believe it is the new NHL app available on either Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nhl.gc1112.free&hl=en or at the app store: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/nhl/id465092669?mt=8
We have downloaded both of these for our devices (iPad and Android phone) and after downloading, it states very clearly that the app is powered by Rogers. All you need to do is sign in with your Rogers user name and password and then wait until October 7 for the first game to be available. There are however other things like highlights and NHL news which can be viewed now. Hope this helps!
