About

NHL 09 is the 17th video game in the NHL series released by EA Sports in 2008. Both the Nintendo DS and Wii versions had been planned, but canceled. It was the last installment of the NHL series to be released on Playstation 2 and the last to get a PC release

What players say

Widely regarded by hockey fans as a high point for the EA NHL series of its era, with fast, accessible, satisfying on-ice action that holds nostalgic appeal. It feels like comfortable, arcade-leaning sports fun rather than a hardcore sim.
