The anticipation surrounding the NHL 24 video game cover athlete announcement is at an all-time high, much like the previous editions. With each passing year, fans eagerly speculate which player will grace the cover, igniting discussions and debates across online platforms.
However, a recent rumor hinting at Cale Makar as the NHL 24 cover athlete has caught many by surprise, leaving fans divided and curious about the validity of the claim.
Makar, a rising star, has been popular as a key player for the Colorado Avalanche. Drafted fourth overall by the Avalanche in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Makar has showcased his exceptional skills as a defenseman. His inclusion in the discussion for the coveted NHL 24 cover has left fans with mixed emotions, prompting a wide range of reactions on platforms such as Reddit.

One Reddit user, clearly taken aback, exclaimed:
"I’m gonna be honest didn’t see that coming."
Skepticism has also reared its head within the fanbase. Another Redditor expressed doubt:
"I can't seem to verify this anywhere so I'm not buying it. All signs point to Dahlin. I'm a huge Avs fan, so I think I would've caught wind sooner if this were true."
Amid the speculation and uncertainty, some fans have turned their attention to the design aspect of the potential cover. One enthusiastic supporter commented:
"Old school Nordique jersey style pretty sweet."
Whether the rumors turn out to be accurate or not, one thing is certain – the NHL game cover athlete reveal will continue to be a talking point among fans until the official announcement puts the debate to rest. Until then, fans can relish in the excitement of the unknown and engage in spirited discussions.
