NHL 24 Features Cale Makar as cover athlete!

The NHL is featuring an increasing amount of speed and dazzling skill each season. Colorado Avalanche star defenseman Cale Makar on the cover might be an indicator that NHL 24 is moving in the same direction. 

A Hobey Baker award, a Calder Trophy, a Conn Smythe Trophy, a Norris Trophy and a Stanley Cup. Those are just some of the accomplishments that defenseman Cale Makar has in his rearview at only 24 years old. The speedy defenseman is a true franchise player that is able to make everyone sharing the ice with him so much better. He is the true definition of a next generation superstar in the NHL.

The ability to read and execute plays in split seconds while skating like the wind and making everything look effortless is the hallmark of Cale Makar’s play. That is also the type of players that seem to thrive in today’s NHL - take a look at the likes of Connor McDavid, Adam Fox, or Miro Heiskanen to name a few. Having a player like Cale Makar on the cover leads us to believe that could be the type of gameplay that the development team wants to emphasize in the upcoming NHL 24 title.

The full NHL 24 reveal is going to be on August 16th at 17:00 CEST, so make sure to tune in for the premiere at the EA Sports NHL YouTube channel!
