• Goalies Drop the Gloves—When the action boils over, send a message by leaving the net, dropping the gloves, and trading punches with a heated rival during fights.
• Play in the Winter Classic—The NHL package jumps to life with the addition of the NHL Winter Classic, the league's premier outdoor hockey event on New Year's Day. Play under snowfall at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field as 70,000+ rabid fans provide inspiration by cheering you on while donning Winter Classic gear.
