Hey there, @Stubo_NHL24 

I gotta say, this is pretty surprising, but cool nonetheless. It's always great to see another passionate fan of the game regardless of a connection to the real world sport. How long have you been playing the NHL series? Also good to have another Gen X-er around here 😉


I've been playing NHL since the very beginning, pretty sure I was about 16 at the time. Never missed a year since.

It's by far the most exciting game out there. I'm a big soccer fan but FIFA doesn't give me the same adrenaline rush like NHL does.

I have played 24 during the testing stage, I liked it alot 😬

Currently in Spain on holiday and have terrible withdrawal symptoms from not getting my NHL fix Haha  Get back home  12 hours before the release. Already got it pre installed so my alarm will be getting set for 5am (uk time) 😁

    Awesome! Great to hear this! While I'm a longtime fan of hockey, it was playing the game in the 90s that really hooked me and gave me a bigger passion for the sport itself. There really is nothing like hockey for that adrenaline rush. I grew up playing baseball, but quit that in high school. I just didn't have much interest in sports in general until hockey. Now, besides auto racing, it's the only sport I really follow. I do watch the occasional soccer game though. It's about the only other sport that can keep me on the edge of my seat at times.

    Glad to hear you liked the playtest for 24! I know I'm very eagerly anticipating it myself even though it means my time with Starfield gets cut down significantly. 

    Enjoy your holiday and safe travels! Hope to see you on the ice!
