NHL 19

Despite being a Canadian, and despite loving the sport of hockey, I took a break from the annual NHL EA Sports release for the 2018 iteration, and during a year heavy with impressive titles from developers across the industry, it didn't actually miss it that much. When EA Sports came to Toronto a few weeks ago, and a few of my colleagues were able to attend, they couldn't stop raving about the improvements to NHL 19, so we reached out and thanks to EA Sports, received a copy to review!

Canada is the land of hockey, and although our teams are currently sitting a 20+ year drought of having a Stanley Cup in the country, we sleep at night knowing the vast majority of players in the NHL are Canadian, and typically, the vast majority of players on Stanley Cup winning teams, are in fact Canadian. Our country lives and breathes hockey!

NHL 19 was officially unveiled during the NHL Awards last night, and fans went nuts for what is coming. Pond hockey, and lots of it apparently. Ready to take to the ice in September? Here is the launch trailer courtesy of EA Sports.
