EA Sports has announced that their premiere hockey game, NHL 13, will feature two female pro hockey players, including former Team USA’s Angela Ruggiero and former Team Canada’s Hayley Wickenheiser.
The female players were included thanks to a request from a 14-year-old female fan, who emailed the development team asking for female players.
In addition to Ruggiero and Wickenheiser, the game will also include NHL Hall of Famers Doug Gilmour, Jari Kurri, and Dominik Hasek.
NHL 13 is due to be released on the 11th September 11 in North America and the 13th September for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
