NHL 25 Cover Athletes make EA Sports history

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that EA Sports’ decision to have three cover athletes for NHL 25 is nothing short of revolutionary! I’ve witnessed dual cover athletes before, but never three, and certainly not siblings!


This year, EA Sports unveiled a groundbreaking decision about the cover athlete for NHL 25: instead of one individual, there will be three athletes featured on the cover. Occasionally, EA Sports introduces dual cover athletes, as was the case with NHL 23’s cover athletes Sarah Nurse and Trevor Zegras. But this time, they’ve taken things a step further – something they’ve never done before for the NHL franchise.

For the very first time, a trio of hockey players will be featured on the cover of NHL 25, which is unprecedented for the NHL video game franchise by EA Sports. Although multiple athletes have been cover stars before on EA games, it’s never happened with the NHL series. To make things even more interesting, EA Sports has gone a step beyond anything they’ve done in their history as a company for this particular release.

As a die-hard hockey fan, let me share an exciting piece of news: The three cover stars for NHL 25 are none other than the Hughes brothers! Yes, you heard it right. For the first time ever in EA Sports history, siblings are gracing the cover of NHL 25. And get this – the esteemed trio goes by the name of Jack, Quinn, and Luke Hughes. These boys are not just any players; they’re the Hughes brothers!

These three brothers, all still quite young, are poised for a brilliant future. Each has already caused ripples in the National Hockey League, and it seems their most impressive achievements are yet to come, as the oldest among them is only 24. The accomplishments of these talented siblings are merely the beginning of a legacy that will likely be etched in NHL history.

It’s unexpected yet fitting to find three siblings on the cover for the first time, given that it turns out to be the Hughes brothers. EA Sports often select promising young athletes who symbolize the future of their respective sports. With Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews (twice), Trevor Zegras, and even Cale Makar already gracing the cover, this isn’t surprising.

EA Sports often features rising star athletes on their covers, and this year was no exception as they showcased three exceptional young talents from the NHL’s up-and-coming generation. It’s always thrilling to observe who will be selected for the cover each season!
