Wonder if college hockey is next, maybe in a couple of years we'll see the CCHA, WCHA and Hockey East and all that in NHL 13.

Real players!!! That's awesome. I wonder how they're going to do the ratings. A stretch in the ratings would seem like a good idea. And I would think the rosters would be current, no? A guy like Taylor Hall will start off on Windsor and if he makes an NHL team they will just move him I hope.

"If he makes an NHL team".....is this a joke or.....

After years of creating my own Sarnia Sting team with former players (which wasn't necessarily an easy task :-) , creating a jersey from a template that wasn't really close, an areana etc... we CHL fans finally get to play as our favourite team and there is a huge following for this league.

This is HUGE and I didn't see this coming when word leaked out. Now reading this press release and seeing that real players names will also be incorporated; WOW! I'll be lined up on release day.

Great job EA!

This is really awesome, but I agree that the ratings issue will be a huge thing.

If they try to make them a standalone entity (like the Euro leagues) and overrate them it won't be nearly as good as transferring players over will be a pain. The Euro leagues being ranked so high (with high-80's and whatnot) makes it really hard to transfer prospects over already.

Either way I'm really excited about this development.

It will be awesome to finally play the Vancouver Giants vs. the Vancouver Canucks and show the NHL and canadians which Vancouver team should be in the NHL.

Awesome news. This will certainly add some depth to the game.

"The CHL integration in NHL 11 will tie to several modes in the game, including Be A Pro, Be A GM, Tournament Mode, Season Mode and Playoff Mode."

Will these teams be integrated into Franchise mode as well?
