In 2023, Matt Poitras, drafted by the Boston Bruins, showcased his talent in the NHL before an injury curtailed his rookie season. Now recovered, he is making crucial contributions as the Bruins vie for a playoff spot. Off the rink, Poitras finds solace in the NHL 25 video game, where he surprisingly shifts positions to a defensive role, illustrating how gaming serves as a relaxing escape from the intense pressures of professional hockey. He recalls the surreal experience of seeing himself represented in the game for the first time during his junior hockey days.
It's a bit weird to see yourself in the game, especially a game I've been playing for so long. I think I was in junior hockey when I had my first taste of it.
Playing NHL 25 is a social hobby for me; it's an escape. I really enjoy taking on a different role as a left-side defenseman while gaming.
