In the realm of the game, certain elements have held their ground, and one of those enduring features has been the cadre of announcers whose voices resonate with fans and capture unforgettable moments. The name Jim Hughson has become synonymous with the sport, succeeded by James Cybluski, and alongside, former NHL star Ray Ferraro's voice has also become iconic in EA's series.
Yet, a recent announcement has stirred this familiar dynamic with Ferraro's departure from his role. Cheryl Pounder will step into his shoes, marking a significant change that will undoubtedly leave an impact on fans accustomed to Ferraro's memorable quotes.
Although Pounder's entry might catch some off guard, her credentials for the position stand strong. With a substantial broadcasting background at TSN, where she has provided insightful commentary and called games, Pounder's leap into the video game sphere is backed by her experience as an ex-hockey player and Olympic gold medalist.
