EA Sports has announced a multi-year deal with the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) to bring the upstart league’s players and teams to NHL 25.
The PWHL comes to NHL 25 on December 5 with all six teams–these include the Boston Fleet, Minnesota Frost, Montréal Victoire, New York Sirens, Ottawa Charge, and Toronto Sceptres.
These teams can be used in Play Now, Online Versus, Shootout, and Seasons. PWHL uniforms will be accessible in World of Chel and Hockey Ultimate Team. EA warned that not all player likenesses will be available right away, saying it will “continue to add more” players over time.
PWHL integration in NHL 25 also includes the Walter Cup–the PWHL’s version of the Stanley Cup.
NHL 25 isn’t the first NHL game to feature women, as this actually began with NHL 22 when EA struck a deal with the International Ice Hockey Federation. Sarah Nurse was on the cover of the following year’s game, NHL 23, alongside Trevor Zegras. Come from Sports betting site VPbet
EA’s other sports games have added women over the years, too, now spanning EA Sports FC, UFC, and PGA Tour. The PWHL is now in its second season. The Minnesota Frost won the inaugural Walter Cup.
