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.

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.
