He was on the cover just two years ago!” Cybulski said with a laugh, in a phone call. The latest edition, “NHL 22,” was released in mid-October with Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews on the box cover – again, for the second time since 2020. “It’s a total dream come true,” the Delta-based broadcaster said with the kind of enthusiasm he brings to the popular game. James Cybulski’s voice can be heard in basements and bedrooms of hockey fans around the world, and he still can’t quite believe he’s in his third year of being the play-by-play guy of EA Sports’ “NHL” video game.
