Eric Staal named cover athlete for NHL 08 |
Ó
AskMen.com's pick for Sports Rookie of the Year, Eric "Gunner" Staal was picked out by Electronic Arts to grace the cover of the next title in the EA Sports NHL series, EA Sports' NHL 08. The 23-year old Carolina Hurricane's center player was also announced to be the title's spokesman for this year, said the official press release.
"“I am a huge fan of the NHL franchise and played NHL 07 fanatically. I am honored to be named to the EA SPORTS™ family and the NHL 08 team," said Staal. Fans of the sport may remember Eric Joseph Brent Staal (brother of Marc Staal of the New York Rangers, Jordan Staal and Jared Staal - all whom are also hockey players) to have been selected to play the All-Stars game for the Eastern Conference back in Season 06-07.
Staal will succeed Alexander Ovechkin, who graced the cover of the previous title, NHL 07, being the 12th and latest star NHL player to be given the honor of appearing on EA's premier hockey sports game coming for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PS2 and PC this fall.
