Top 3 reasons to get excited about NHL 23

#2 History is made on the cover

In addition to Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras, who’s a rising superstar in his own way, there’s another cover athlete on the game. In addition the cover features Canadien goal scorer Sarah Nurse.

She’s the first female athlete to be featured on an NHL video game cover.

Here’s more information about Sarah Nurse from EA Sports: 

"Canadian international Sarah Nurse makes history just about every time she steps onto the ice; most notably, she broke the record for most points scored in a single Olympic hockey tournament (male or female) in the 2022 Games. Nurse captured numerous gold medals with Canadian youth squads, and earned a silver medal with Canada in the 2018 Olympics after a shootout victory against the United States. She may be a seasoned veteran of the international game, but Sarah Nurse is just getting started. She’s making history with EA SPORTS as the very first female player to be featured on the official worldwide cover of an NHL game. Between her phenomenal shooting ability and her uncanny ability to read the game, Nurse is an absolute powerhouse that any HUT player will want in their lineup."

This is awesome and it’s only going to help grow this beautiful game.
