EA NHL 20 CUP

Xbox Giving NHL Fans a Reason to Cheer with Northern Arena EA Sports NHL 20 Cup

Summary

  • Through a partnership with EA and Northern Arena, Xbox Canada has created a unique way to determine a hockey champion: the NA EA NHL 20 Cup.
  • The tournament will feature the top NHL 20 pros representing all 31 NHL teams for the chance to win a $5,000 (CAD) cash prize.
  • Hockey fans can follow along on Mixer.com/XboxCanada.

In April, hockey fans (such as myself) would typically be cheering on our favourite NHL team as they head into the Stanley Cup playoffs. Personally, I’ve been waiting 53 years for Toronto to sip from the Cup… However, with the suspended NHL season, we’re all craving that breakaway excitement.

For those missing their favourite teams, we’re excited to announce that Xbox Canada has partnered with EA Sports and Northern Arena to bring hockey back to your living room with the Northern Arena EA Sports NHL 20 Cup. This month-long tournament will feature the top NHL 20 pros representing all 31 NHL teams for the chance to win a $5,000 (CAD) cash prize.
