1. How long have you been playing EASHL? What is your favorite part about the mode?

I have been playing EASHL since its inception back in NHL 09, so I have been playing the game mode for over 6 years.

I think that my favorite part about the mode would be the competition and camaraderie. One of my favorite aspects of any video game is working together to accomplish a common goal. This passion for that type of game mode comes from years of competitive sport. One of the things about playing a game mode like Online Versus or HUT is that you truly are playing a video game. It’s you versus another player. There is no teamwork or camaraderie. EASHL truly recreates the sport-like atmosphere that I seek in any video game I play.

2. As part of the NHL Community Committee, what part of the mode would you like to directly influence?

Well, there are a ton of areas where I would like to help out, but I have some really innovative ideas when it comes to competing in “drop-in” games. In addition to that, I would like to help assist with some of the more creative aspects of the mode that could be better utilized.

NHL 15 revolutionized the way the game behaved. It really has paved the way for NHL 16 where I feel I would be a huge asset to not only return EASHL to its glorious form, but surpass everyone’s expectations of what NHL 16 can deliver.

3. What makes you the ideal candidate for this committee?

There are a number of things that make me an ideal candidate. The first would definitely be my involvement in the YouTube and Twitch communities.

With nearly 15,000 subscribers on YouTube I deliver almost exclusively EA Sports content and within that almost all of the videos I produce are NHL related. I have created numerous tutorials in the area, including scoring, passing, winning faceoffs, and Hockey Ultimate Team. I have always strived to inform my audience of the best ways to win their games in whatever game mode they choose to play.

EASHL has always been one of my primary focuses. I have concentrated a lot of my efforts on creating unique player builds for people to use in EASHL and have competed in YouTube All-Star games, as well as produced videos chronicling my club team’s rise to the top and competing for the Division 1 Championship.

In addition to being very much involved in the YouTube community, I am one of very few “mature” individuals who do this. At 25 years old I am self-sufficient and have numerous resources at my disposal to be wherever I need to be. I treat my YouTube career as a second job and have worked diligently to slowly turn it into my primary one.

The EA NHL franchise has done a lot for me in terms of my career and I would like to give back to this franchise in whatever way I possibly can. If selected, I will use all of my resources to make a difference for this committee, including involving my fan base to help provide ideas to improve EASHL for NHL 16.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration, and I hope that I may be able to help forge the future of the EA NHL franchise for the better.

Sincerely,
