The 25 Best Songs from the EA Sports NHL Series

The NHL season is coming! So while you wait for the puck to drop, enjoy your copy of NHL 15, with Patrice Bergeron on the cover, even if it’s missing a lot of features from last year.

While the folks at Electronic Arts were busy taking out features getting their latest game ready for the market, Kofi Arhin (you may remember him from the hit Youtube series “Answer the Question”) joined forces with the mckbook for a list that’s been in the making for quite some time. We’ve compiled the 25 best songs to have ever been featured on an NHL game from EA’s series.

They’re in no particular order, by the way. We probably would’ve been at odds if we had to put it in order. It was hard enough keeping this list at 25 and stopping ourselves short of writing the top 75–100.

Did your favourite make the list? Let us know if we did! Did your tune not make this list? Let us know if we didn’t!
