EA, NHL and the NHL Players’ Association announced tonight at the 2015 NHL Awards the 2015 Stanley Cup Champions Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane from the Chicago Blackhawks have been selected as cover athletes for the upcoming game EA Sports NHL 16. It will be the second time both athletes appear on the cover of the game, and the first time two NHL players will appear in the game’s cover together.
“I’m honored to not only share the Stanley Cup Championship with Patrick, but to share the EA SPORTS NHL 16 cover with him too,” mentioned Toews. “Our team’s passion and dedication have made this all possible – and I’m sure fans will be fired up about it.”
“Being teamed up with Jonathan for the NHL 16 cover is a great feeling,” Kane said. “I never would have imagined being on the cover twice, and the fact this is happening on top of our team taking home the Cup is unreal.”
NHL 16 will make its debut on September 15, 2015 in North America and September 17, 2015 in Europe.
