Most importantly, EA SPORTS NHL 14 will be donating $10,000 to the Hockey Fights Cancer cause.

Player items featured:

• James van Riemsdyk - Toronto Maple Leafs
• Steve Ott - Buffalo Sabres

• Erik Gudbranson - Florida Panthers

HUT in NHL 14 invites gamers to build their own on-ice fantasy squad from a stable of international players and superstars before putting their teams to the test against others online. Teams grow and improve as gamers find and collect their favorite stars and enlist them for in-game action.

Sounds great. Someone else asked EA's Community Manager if any of the proceeds from packs would be donated to a cancer society charity, and I was half expecting total silence on their end. haha

Did y'all forget some zero's? 10K?!?

No amount is too small for an individual to donate but when it's coming from EA, this is just sad.
