NHL 2K8 Jason Spezza - Image 12K Sports has just named the cover athlete for their upcoming hockey video game, NHL 2K8 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PS2). It's none other than Jason Spezza of the Ottawa Senators.

In case you need reminding, Jason Spezza is one of the youngest Canadians (third, to be exact, behind greats Eric Lindros and Wayne Gretzky) to represent his country at the World Junior Hockey Championships. He was second overall pick at the 2001 NHL Draft and is well known for his speed on the ice and as a playmaker. Spezza expressed enthusiasm about NHL 2K8:

It's a great honor to be the NHL 2K8 cover athlete. The NHL 2K series has always selected some of the best players in the NHL and I'm really excited to follow in their footsteps of representing the finest hockey video game title this year.


Graeme Bayless, president at Kush Games had this to say:

We are thrilled to have Jason Spezza as our cover athlete for NHL 2K8. Spezza is a player that truly embodies the spirit of hockey which is something that we pride ourselves in with the NHL 2K series. We are very pleased to be working with a cover athlete that is such an avid gamer and who is committed to contributing valuable insight to the authenticity and development of the NHL 2K series.


Hmm... This might just be another exciting season for NHL 2K fans. We won't have too long to wait for NHL 2K8 as it is slated to slide on the shelves in September.

But Spezza is the boss. He'll easily rack up 100 points this season with Heatley.
