Chicago Blackhawks broadcaster Darren Pang has confirmed exciting news for hockey fans: he will be part of the broadcast team for EA Sports’ upcoming NHL 27. On the popular show “Leafs Morning Take,” Pang revealed that he will join ESPN’s John Buccigross to call matches within the much-anticipated video game.
Pang, who is well-known for his engaging style and memorable catchphrases, will complement Buccigross’ play-by-play commentary. This partnership is set to extend beyond a single season, as Pang confirmed that they have secured a multi-year agreement with EA Sports, ensuring fans will hear his voice for years to come.
“Confirmed: @Panger40 will join @Buccigross as the new broadcast team for NHL 27,” tweeted the official EA Sports NHL account, highlighting that Pang’s signature phrase, “HOLY JUMPIN’,” made the cut for the game. Fans can look forward to an experience that captures the essence of live hockey broadcasts.
Adding to the excitement, EA Sports recently announced that San Jose Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini will grace the cover of NHL 27, making him the youngest cover athlete in the franchise’s history. This revelation raises questions about whether Chicago Blackhawks rookie sensation Connor Bedard might find himself on the cover in future editions.
The full reveal trailer, featuring Pang’s commentary, is set to premiere on Thursday, July 16th, at 10 AM CT. Fans are eagerly awaiting the trailer, which will also unveil preorder details and the game’s release date. Stay tuned for more updates as the next generation of hockey gaming approaches.
