Holy Jumpin’! On “Leafs Morning Take”, Chicago Blackhawks announcer Darren Pang confirmed a rumor that was swirling about EA Sports NHL. Pang, along with ESPN’s John Buccigross, will be the broadcast team calling matches in the video game.
Pang, an employee of CHSN as a Blackhawks analyst, will complement Buccigross’ play-by-play. He also confirmed that this is not a one-year deal; they have a multi-year agreement with EA Sports.
Pang is a wonderful broadcaster best known for his catch phrases that make fans smile on a nightly basis. In addition to his work with CHSN, he is also a national broadcaster with NHL on TNT, so his knowledge of the league as a whole is second to none. He’s perfect for this role in the video game.

On Tuesday, EA Sports revealed that San Jose Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini is going to be on the cover of the game, which makes you wonder if Chicago Blackhawks star Connor Bedard has the honor in his future. You’d think.
The full reveal trailer, where you will likely hear Pang’s voice in the game, will be published on Thursday, July 16th, at 10 AM CT. That will also come with preorder details, along with a release date.
