Boston Bruins' forward Patrice Bergeron has been named as the cover star of EA SPORTS NHL 15. Bergeron beat off Montreal Canadiens' defenseman P.K. Subban in a vote by over 10 million hockey fans.

“Being featured on the cover of NHL 15 is a dream come true,” said Bruins center Patrice Bergeron. “The fact that the cover is selected entirely by fans is an incredible feeling. The passion and support from hockey fans, especially Bruins fans, is unlike any other sport and I’m so grateful to everyone who voted for me.”

PSU voted NHL 15 the BEST SPORTS PS4 GAME at E3 2014, praising the hockey game for the real-world physics which capture the hard-hitting impact of fast and furious battles as players collide and compete for the puck as if their lives depended on it.

NHL 15 is due for release on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in North America on September 9, 2014 and in Europe on September 12, 2014.
