EA Sports has revealed that Steve Stamko of the Tampa Bay Lightning will be featured as the cover athlete of upcoming hockey title EA Sports NHL 12. The game is due out in September, and will feature a new full-contact physics engine.
“I’ve grown up playing EA SPORTS NHL videogames so it’s an honor to be chosen for the cover this year,” said Stamkos. “I love how authentic the game is and thought it was great when I scored a one-knee, one-timer goal as myself in NHL12!”
