"We did have some of the women join us onsite [at the NHL 25 community day] and they were super excited to be part of it, kind of relaying the stories about them playing and now having their likeness represented in-game is definitely something that they're incredibly excited to see, as we are," EA NHL franchise senior producer Chris Haluke told Polygon. "It's definitely a step in the right direction for us too in terms of inclusiveness, authenticity, and just bringing that representation to life."
Minnesota Frost forward and inaugural season playoff MVP Taylor Heise said in a statement to Polygon that the PWHL's inclusion in NHL 25 is "an important moment for women's hockey." She continued: "This sort of representation in hockey culture really matters. It makes me all the more optimistic about the future and how we can continue to grow the game and inspire young girls to pursue their dreams in hockey."
