EA Vancouver added Snoop Dogg as a playable character and commentator to NHL 20, just because (via GameSpot). 

So, Snoop Dogg is now available as a guest commentator in NHL 20. He is also a playable character in the game modes ONES offline, Squad Battles, and World of Chel, and has his own Featured Squad. By challenging Snoop Dogg in Ultimate Team, players are able to nab Snoop Dogg’s exclusive jersey to boot. EA hasn’t been afraid to name-drop in the past, and added NFL players Adam Thielen and Juju Smith-Schuster and NBA player Kyle Lowry to NHL 20. 

The developer and publisher had expressed interest in bringing celebrity commentators to the game in the future. The NHL itself had featured Snoop Dogg in an informative how-to hockey video in 2018, so we should have seen this coming. Maybe.
