NHL 17
The NHL is still on the fence about its elite hockey players taking time off during the season to compete in the next Winter Olympics, but Gary Bettman is still into waving national flags on the ice.
The league is demonstrating its commitment to patriotism in the upcoming World Cup of Hockey, which starts on September 17 and runs through the first of October. This tournament pits the biggest hockey countries in the world against one another (Canada, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Czech Republic, and USA) and along with two hybrid teams that represent the rest of Europe and the best young players in the sport, respectively.
To celebrate the tournament, EA Sports has added the World Cup of Hockey to NHL 17. You can watch a trailer of the action here, which showcases some of the new World Cup specific commentary.
NHL 17 is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 13. You can read more about the game here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
