HUT Team of the Year Announcement

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are under way and we thought it would be a great time to honor those players who had a great regular season by selecting the NHL 12 Hockey Ultimate Team of the Year. Following in the footsteps of the EA SPORTS NHL 13 Cover Vote, you decided the starting line-up by voting on the EA SPORTS NHL Facebook page.

The Special Edition HUT Team of the Year cards are now LIVE and can be found within HUT packs. Like the HUT Stars of the Week, the players received big-time attribute upgrades, but even more so this time. These are must-have, rare players, so if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one, you can expect them to fetch a pretty penny in the Auction House.
