This has been very heavily discussed over the last few years. The TLDR is that, contrary to popular belief, there just isn't a big enough audience for it. Yes, we fully understand you and your friends would play. That's awesome, but we would need a much higher amount of PC hockey players to warrant the very high cost of this. Porting the game to PC is probably the easier part. Combine that with building an infrastructure to support it and those costs skyrocket. Not to mention, all that work that goes in to this means the far more popular console versions wouldn't get the attention they need with all those resources devoted to a PC version.
We all are die hard hockey fans, but it also doesn't have the worldwide fandom of a sport like soccer. This is reflected as well in the amount of PC video game hockey players. It would take a pretty extraordinary amount of them to make the very big job of bring the game to PC not be a loss.
how can you pretend to know that there wouldn't be a big enough pool for a PC version? I have been receiving the annual EA sports nhl survey for at least ten years, and I have never seen a question regarding my interest in a PC version
