EA Sports has released an NHL-themed game each year for a few decades, now approaching its 34th installment with NHL 25. As with many games, the trailer release date often comes as a more pivotal event than the release date itself, as it brings about the first piece of related media people can directly observe and discuss.
The Hughes brothers now get the honor of the first cover athlete trio since 1993's NHLPA hockey with Mike Richter, Rod Brind'Amour, and Randy Moller, as well as the esteem of the first cover athlete brothers for a North American release. The official trailer is set to launch the morning of Thursday, August 22nd. Hopefully, this early trailer leak will not ruin the game's chances of success, and in turn, the trajectory of these players' careers in the NHL.
