    Be thankful you can even voice chat in game still. That will be removed in NHL 22 to prevent " toxic behavior ". This is the new norm for gaming. They said my player name " Aiden " was profanity as well. It's sad because I'm not buying a PS5 and this is the final playstation and NHL game I will play. And somehow the BAP is worse than NHL 18-19-20. Genuine shame.

    I get you're being sarcastic, but voice chat is provided as a feature of Xbox Live and PSN. It's not something we really have control over.

    As far as words being profane that shouldn't be, we're always trying to improve the filtering. Hopefully, these names will be allowable in the future.
