Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras and Team Canada forward Sarah Nurse are the cover athletes for NHL 23, EA Sports announced Wednesday, noting that Nurse is the first women\'s hockey player to grace the cover of its NHL video game.
\"It\'s something that I never even thought was in the realm of possibilities,\" Nurse, who starred in Canada\'s dominant gold-medal win at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, told ESPN. \"I never even dreamed of being on it. And so I think that it\'s huge, and I think that it just speaks for where women\'s hockey is right now, the visibility and the value that people see in women\'s hockey.\"
