Jack Hughes and his brothers are featured on the cover of EA Sports NHL 25
Luke, Quinn and Jack Hughes brothers made history by becoming the first trio of siblings to grace the cover of an EA Sports NHL 25 video game.
"It was a very proud moment for all of us when we saw the Deluxe cover," said Jack Hughes as per NHL.com.
"It reminded us that on the ice, we're competitors, always learning from each other, but off the ice, we're brothers who love to play hockey."
Luke Hughes echoed the sentiments:
"Being on the cover with my brothers is incredibly exciting. "We have a one-of-a-kind hockey story growing up together and now a one-of-a-kind cover. We can't wait for fans to experience NHL 25."
The Hughes siblings come from Orlando, Florida. They were motivated to take up hockey by their father Jim Hughes, who also played the sport.
