Each and every year while hockey fans are left without the real NHL season going on, fans are blessed with a new game release of EA Sports NHL, EA has yet to change much of the game throughout the past couple of years aside from the cover on the game, one of the biggest changes is who's on the cover!
Now we are upon waiting the reveal of this years NHL 2023 cover athlete, all fingers point to Cale Makar as he won playoff MVP as well as the Stanley Cup, oh.. and the Norris Trophy!
Until EA Sports may have accidentally leaked the new cover for NHL 23, coming out in September. They posted this on there twitter which was quickly taken down just moments after, did they accidentally post the reveal too early!?
The answer is no, they did not reveal it too early, as more leaks of the cover have came to the attention of multiple social media platforms, and it is a history making cover! With two players who seem to be on the cover, Darnell Nurse? No, his sister, Sarah Nurse!! Nurse is a hockey icon, and a big role in female hockey programs throughout Canada, she has worn the Canada logo for more than 4 national tournaments and has been playing at a high-level of hockey since 2010!
