The NHL Awards were held earlier this week and EA Sports chose the opportunity to announce a ton of new things about NHL 17. This includes a beta, the cover athlete and more.
Fans had to vote on who will be on the cover for NHL 17. After many rounds and potential stars, the people wanted Vladimir Tarasenko to be on the cover. Mr Tarasenko currently plays for the St. Louis Blues. Joe Pavelski of the San Jose Sharks lost out in the final. It will be interesting to see if Vladimir Tarasenko can avoid the EA cover curse…
