Recently 2K Sports announced that Rick Nash, captain of the Columbus Blue Jackets, will be featured on the cover of NHL 2K9. Nash, a fan of hockey video games, said: “My idols have all been on the covers of video games as I was growing up, so to be on the cover of NHL 2K9 myself is truly incredible. The set of new features they’re adding is really going to make this game special for hockey fans - I’m hoping they give me a couple extra points to my player rating this year!”
