Sure, simulating an entire NHL season doesn't sound so tough. In fact anyone with a copy of their favorite hockey video game can come up with a season and tell you who came away with the Cup. But let's face it, if just anyone can do it, it's not good enough for hockey fans, and it's not good enough for G4 Sports.

G4 Sports is about giving the fans everything they've come to expect from the real game but from a virtual source. Fans don't just want to know who won the Stanley Cup, they want to know who made the playoffs. They want to know how their team and its players are performing throughout the season. They want to know how the stars of the NHL are faring, if veterans are still performing and which youngbloods are hitting their stride. They don't just want season stats, they want player stats, game stats, stats updated by period, highlights, replays, hits, fights, everything! Not just anyone can get that from a video game, but G4 Sports can.

G4 Sports NHL Update is on the air!

Starting on October 13th, every day there's a game, G4 Sports "NHL Update" with hosts Luc Robitaille and Jim Fox will be there to bring you the highlights and replays from the action on the ice.
