I hope that cover athlete in NHL 23 is Valtteri Filppula. Filppula is first finnish players in the legendary Triple Gold Club. Some goalie would be nice see on cover athlete, but I think so that , it's will not be russian player. Why not cover athlete not could be Dominik Hasek if EA will add more new alumni players to the game. About active goalies I hope see in role of cover athlete three time Stanley Cup winner Marc-André Fleury.
Historical goalie- and skater gears would be awesome add to the game. It would helped lot of player creation if we create to the game more alumni players if we could choice them real goalie- or skater equipments what they used on career. And like I'm said many time another big help to player creation would be same face creator what is use in FIFA 22. Hopefully EA Sport read messages of this chain and undertand that some players like player and team creation. Awesome add would be 3 vs 3 game mode with normal rules what use on overtime.
