The NHL has announced plans for a global esports tournament with regional EA Sports NHL 18 competitions in the U.S., Canada and Europe leading up to the NHL Gaming World Championship on June 19 in Las Vegas.
While the NBA 2K League drew on elite gamers and the Madden NFL Club Championship draw sought casual gamers to represent each franchise, the NHL is differing from its North American sports league brethren in encouraging all hockey fans — “even non-gamers” — to sign up and compete.
