The development team at EA Sports announces that the cover vote for the recently revealed NHL 14 will start on April 22 and will allow all fans of the franchise and hockey to vote on their favorite athlete and get him to lead promotional efforts for the game.

Gamers will have to visit the official site in order to cast their own vote.

Players first chose the cover athlete for NHL last year and more than 25 million votes were delivered, with the final result seeing Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux landing on the front of the game case.

Dean Richards, the general manager in charge of NHL at EA Sports, states, “This year fans will feel the speed, skill and aggression of NHL hockey like never before, powered by some of the best EA SPORTS technology to create the best game we could ever imagine.”
