![]() ![]() Wow, so you’ve been around through a lot of growth for the NHL gaming scene. Now I run a few high level weekly esports competitions with, focusing on having the best North American players face off in both versus and Hockey Ultimate Team, while doing commentary for different leagues and tournaments. I create videos for YouTube, stream over 40 hours a week, and I am involved in multiple NHL organization events including the Toronto Maple Leafs, Washington Capitals, as well as the Tampa Bay Lightning, which became my first ever broadcast opportunity for an event where I did the play by play for the Finals in Orlando. In September I became a full-time content creator focusing on the NHL video game. $50,000 will be on the line for these six finalists later today in the #NHLGWC Final. ![]() I just wanted to help improve those events and grow the esports scene as best I could. In 2019 there was a much bigger focus from not only the NHL itself, but the teams around the league hosting multiple events. ![]() The NHL created the in 2018, and after watching that I knew I wanted to be involved in competitive gaming for NHL. ![]() Halbert : When I created my channel back in 2017, it was based around tips and strategy videos trying to help below-average players improve their game. SQUAD: How did you first get involved with NHL esports? Unfortunately due to internet issues, he had to bow out, but luckily joined the Northern Arena desk as a commentator. I sat down with Halbert to discuss his competitive NHL career, the scene’s growth, and its future. So with Liam Kirk rated 58 and Jordan Lawday of the Devils rated 59, we may see another tweet similar to this soon.Halbert was invited to play in the Northern Arena NHL 20 Cup under the San Jose Sharks banner. There are some other real life players included in the game as part of Team GB, with leftovers from when the Nottingham Panthers were included in the game two years ago so let’s check them out. It does strike me as a little bit weird that EA can have Matias Sointu on the Devils roster but not have Blair Riley on the right team considering how recent Sointu’s arrival was, but still it’s just a video game and these rosters probably take a back seat compared to other leagues in the game. Patryk Wronka – 61 CARDIFF DEVILS GOALIES So here are the rosters, names not on the roster anymore are in italics and positions are listed as they are in the game. EA usually launches a new roster shortly after NHL opening night to get the opening night rosters and guys who are joining from the NCAA. Whether an update shortly after the start of the NHL season will correct the mistakes I’m unsure. Just to warn you, the rosters are not anywhere near 100% up to date, so there will be a few players who are on the squad that shouldn’t be, as you’ll see below, mostly for the Giants just due to the number of new faces in the squad compared to the Devils. How has the game rated each player on the Giants and Devils in their initial roster release. The Belfast Giants on the other hand have an attack rating of 60, defence rating of 70 and are rated 68 when it comes to goalies.īut this is what we’re really here for. So let’s see exactly how the video game franchise has ranked each side.įirst from a team aspect, EA has given the Devils an 66 rating for offence, 66 for defence and a rating of 72 goalies. That’s right, the Champions Hockey League is back in the game and that means once again so are the Cardiff Devils, and this year so are the Belfast Giants. While we could bore you with a review of the game after a quick play through, instead we’re more focussed on something else that’s included in the game. Once again EA Sports have put out a new addition of their NHL video game franchise with the release of NHL 20 with Auston Matthews on the cover. ![]()
