Can we somehow keep this thread uncluttered and only for actual news? Maybe the OP would we willing to update the first post from time to time with new items in a bulleted list?

I can see this turning into a discussion thread and we have plenty of those. Would be nice to not have to search through the thread for the news parts.

I agree, and I am more than willing to update the first post. Not much news yet though!

In NHL news, despite the best efforts from members of a rogue message board, EA introduces the new innovation in hockey video gaming, Invisible goalie moonwalk hockey. Have you ever wanted to blast someone is the stratosphere with the slightest bump? Tired of that pesky goalie getting in your way? Having trouble skating and aiming? This mode is for you! It's free with your game, however get the new racing stripe/camo helmet in your No goalie Monnwalk edition for only $79.99! Preorder today!

He stated that for NHL 15...

while I agree it's probably out for 16 as well, there hasn't been any word whatsoever to any features in 16.

B-Bunny, EA Forums moderator and a member of the GameChangers program, has stated that there is news coming "pretty soon."

Here is the EA Forums thread for those interested: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/10331602.page

EA at E3 takes place June 15th at 4pm EST. Presumably NHL 16 will be announced then.

Indirect confirmation:

The NHL article mentions that "In what has become an annual tradition, EA SPORTS will unveil the Cover Athlete for the upcoming launch of NHL 16."

The NHL, of course, knows that someone is making/producing their game.
