To date, the NHL game included national teams, but these were rosters of players developed from current NHL pros for whom EA Sports had a group license to use their likeness.
In December, the game added the IIHF World Junior Championship tournaments, with their national teams and uniforms, too.
Getting the real-life national team uniforms would require some kind of agreement with the IIHF, the sport’s worldwide sanctioning body.
NHL 22’s IIHF patch is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
