Phaneuf Revealed As NHL 09 Coverboy
The Calgary Flames defenseman is set to grace the cover of this year’s edition, much to the color coordinated chagrin of those buying the green-cased 360 version.  June 10th, 2008 (8:50am) - Calgary Flames all star defenseman Dion Phaneuf has been revealed as the coverboy for EAs upcoming NHL 09.
"It is an incredible honor to be named to the cover of NHL 09," Phaneuf said. "I’ve been a really big fan of the franchise for as long as I can remember and am looking forward to being the face of the game this year, particularly because of the significant improvements that have been made to the defensive game and the new checking engine." NHL 09 is set to release in September and will feature new defensive skill stick controls, fitting since Phaneuf is the cover athlete. The game will also feature a 6 vs. 6 online mode, and more international teams than last year’s edition. Reported by Anthony Swinnich on June 10th, 2008 (8:50am)
