NHL 23 is set to launch on October 14th, 2022 and the hype has begun to really take shape. Throughout the course of the week, EA Sports has been releasing more player ratings as it continues to reveal bits and pieces of what’s to come in their new game.
This week, they shifted their focus on the top women hockey players that will be featured in the game this year after introducing a variety of the male players and rankings last week.
NHL 22 marked the first time women’s hockey players were featured in the franchise, and EA Sports decided to take that a step further this year. The game has a lot of talented women’s hockey players, so it might be a bit overwhelming to figure out where to begin your research at first.
To start, we decided to go with one of the brightest position groups in women’s hockey, which is none other than the forwards. Without another moments delay, let’s check out the Top 5 Women’s Forwards in NHL 23.
