Nashville defenceman P.K. Subban named cover athlete for EA Sports’ “NHL 19”
LAS VEGAS — P.K. Subban, no stranger to video game-like moves on the ice, is the cover athlete for EA Sports’ “NHL 19.”
The Nashville Predators defenceman was unveiled as the made-in-Canada video game’s cover boy during the NHL awards in Las Vegas where Subban was up against Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings and Victor Hedman of the Tampa Bay Lightning for the Norris Trophy.
“Growing up, and still to this day, my friends and I love seeing who is on the cover and ultimately getting to play the game,” Subban said in a statement.
“Being the cover athlete for ‘NHL 19,’ for me, represents growth within our sport, embracing different personalities, and showing that anything is possible. I’m honoured to be able to sport the Smashville colours on this year’s cover.”
